Summary:

This edited book captures the urgent, complex and evolving landscape of decolonisation in UK higher education. Emerging in the wake of the 2020 racial justice uprisings and amid a resurgence of white supremacist violence, it interrogates whether the momentum for anti-racist change can withstand political backlash and entrenched structural inequalities. The volume moves beyond abstract theory to offer a grounded, interdisciplinary exploration of how decolonisation is being implemented, contested and lived across academic spaces. It highlights the pedagogical and institutional challenges faced by staff and students, while amplifying the voices of those at the forefront of transformative change. By bridging theory and practice, and foregrounding lived experience, this collection offers a timely and necessary contribution to the ongoing struggle for equity and justice in higher education. Hind Elhinnawy is Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Nottingham Trent University, UK and Chair of the Intersectional Social Justice Research Group. Her work focuses on curriculum decolonisation, inclusive pedagogy and feminist anti-racist praxis, bridging scholarship and activism to challenge structural inequalities and amplify marginalised voices in UK higher education
