Decolonising the University

As Greenwich Students’ Union (GSU), our goal is to ensure all our members have a great time at Greenwich, feel empowered, and go on to make positive change.

Diversity and inclusion is a key priority for GSU and is something we always work to ensure the university is providing you with what you need to succeed. 

For us decolonisation means acknowledging structural issues that act as barriers to some students achieving their version of success, accessing opportunities, and being able to fully engage with University. We feel it is necessary to work to remove these barriers at Greenwich to ensure every student feels they can achieve what they set out to, and to ensure that once we graduate we can consider how to be more inclusive in our work. 

 

Inclusivity Consultants

Inclusivity Consultants facilitate student outreach work such as facilitating consultation groups and general outreach through stalls.

Inclusivity Consultants can also provide consultations to staff to advise them on inclusive practices and give a student perspective on their current practices. The Inclusivity Consultants can also review materials such as course handbooks, module guides, assessment instructions and online materials, as well as giving feedback to academics on how to develop materials for courses.
