Abstract
This paper offers a personal and reflective account of a social work lecturer critically considering the learning experiences of racialized minority students in higher education (HE) in a UK university. It considers how pedagogy should be examined critically and suggests that knowledge from other cultures should be embedded in the learning. Several themes are explored, including sense of belonging, decolonization of the curriculum, the use of empathy in education, and allyship.
