Our wonderful viber Shabana Marshall is a senior lecturer at St. Mary’s University, Twickenham, and a PhD student at Durham University’s Sociology department. As an educator of Punjabi origin, Shabana seeks to flip the Britishness script by researching decolonisation and its relation to local history. Specifically, understanding the ways in which teachers teach historical “heroes”, who on one end are celebrated by their wider local community for their accolades, but on the other end are dehumanisers associated with acts of colonial violence (e.g., Captain James Cook). As statues and names of once-celebrated “heroes” are being removed in certain arenas this research is crucial for educational spaces to create an inclusive curriculum and challenge imperial nostalgia. We sum up this conversation by identifying resilient minority (ReM) folks have the rehumanising ingredients for anyone with an appetite for equity, diversity, inclusion and love in education. The best way forward in Shabana’s perceptions is to be open, listen and reflect on people’s stories and the nuances within them. Please tune in if you want to hear Shabana’s personal story and transformative work to rehumanise. 😊 <3
