The Connected Sociologies Curriculum Project is a project of The Sociological Review . It is an educational platform that provides open-access resources for students, teachers and academics who are interested in ‘decolonising’ school, college and university curricula.
Most accounts of the modern world define it in relation to the processes of industrialization and democratization in Western Europe in the long nineteenth century. Such narratives fail to address the broader colonial and imperial contexts of these transformations. In this module, we look at the significance of colonial processes to the making of the modern world.
This module examines the ways in which notions of Britishness and citizenship have been historically constructed since 1948. In particular, it aims to outline how Britain’s colonial history frames contemporary debates around citizenship, rights and race.
