About the Seminar:
In his PhD, Gaurav uses a critical realist lens to examine how psychology students perceive curriculum decolonisation initiatives in UK universities. In this talk, he will present his PhD work, focusing on his second study, in which he interviewed undergraduate students to understand their perceptions of curriculum decolonisation initiatives and the contextual factors shaping their engagement. He will discuss the four layers of context, namely, individual, interpersonal, institutional, and infrastructural, which he identified and how they influence student engagement with curriculum decolonisation initiatives. He will also discuss his current study, in which he collaborates with nine UK universities to examine how students from different contexts engage with these initiatives.
About the Presenter:
Gaurav Saxena is a final-year PhD student in Psychology at the University of Bristol. His research focuses on the decolonisation of the psychology curriculum. He is also a Student Fellow with the Bristol Institute for Learning and Teaching, where he explores how higher education institutions can integrate AI into education, and how AI itself can be decolonised. He is currently on a research visit in Australia, working with Professor Gill Westhorp and Dr Kerryn O’Rourke from Charles Darwin University.
