On 25 March 2024, Foluke Adebisi, Professor in Law at the University of Bristol, UK, and Ntina Tzouvala, Associate Professor at the ANU College of Law and Global Fellow at the NUS Centre for International Law, presented their coedited book “Decolonisation, Anti-Racism, and Legal Pedagogy: Strategies, Successes, and Challenges” (Routledge, 2024), which offers an international breadth of historical and theoretical insights into recent efforts to “decolonise” legal education across the world.
With a specific focus on post- and decolonial thought and anti-racist methods in pedagogy, this edited collection provides an accessible illustration of pedagogical innovation in teaching and learning law. Chapters cover civil and common law legal systems, incorporate cases from non-state Indigenous legal systems, and critically examine key topics such as decolonisation and anti-racism in criminology, colonialism and the British Empire, and court process and Indigenous justice. The book demonstrates how teaching can be modified and adapted to address long-standing injustice in the curriculum.
The event was organised by the Global Governance Centre and NORRAG Global Education Centre of the Geneva Graduate Institute. Lys Kulamadayil, Swiss National Sciences Foundation Ambizione Fellow at the Geneva Graduate Institute, was the moderator.
