Short https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧵" title="Thread" aria-label="Emoji: Thread">: @SandnesMarie and I wrote a Policy Brief summarizing findings from a recently concluded project. This was part of @PRIOUpdates initiative on #racialisation, (anti-) #racism and #discrimination (which includes this collection: https://blogs.prio.org/2020/10/collection-of-prio-research-on-racism-inequality-and-discrimination/)">https://blogs.prio.org/2020/10/c... 1/

Our project was titled “Teaching African peace and conflict through European eyes?” and aimed to assess the #diversity and inclusiveness of university curricula in #Europe by appraising teaching on peace and conflict in #Africa across universities in https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇬🇧" title="Flagge des Vereinigten Königreiches" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge des Vereinigten Königreiches">, https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇫🇷" title="Flagge von Frankreich" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Frankreich"> and https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇳🇴" title="Flagge von Norwegen" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Norwegen">. 2/

In short, we found that the lack of #transparency on #university syllabi poses a significant barrier to any assessment of change in teaching practices over the last six years since the 2015 #Rhodesmustfall debate. 3/

While the study is based on a *very* small sample of universities and courses, our findings will hopefully provide valuable insights that can be used in future research on diversity in #academia. 4/

Finally, this may be of interest to @LBenabdallah, especially in light of the work her and I are doing together and which we hope we can share with you all soon (no spoilers!) 6/6.
