Durham University's department of mathematical sciences has published a guide on ‘decolonisation’, urging academics to ensure their teaching is "more inclusive" and not dominated by a Eurocentric view on the world.
The guide advisers lecturers to: "Consider giving short biographies of the mathematicians whose work you present in your modules. If in doing so you realise that they are almost entirely (or even completely) white and/or male, ask yourself why this is.
"See if you can find contributions to the field from mathematicians of other genders/ethnicities."
Kevin O'Sullivan picks over the findings with Durham student and political commentator Sophie Corcoran.
