About this Research Topic
The primary goal is to provide a scholarly platform for researchers, educators, and practitioners to contribute groundbreaking research and reflective insights on decolonizing STEM higher education. We aim to facilitate a robust dialogue that transcends traditional boundaries, fostering a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities in reshaping STEM education through decolonial lenses.
We welcome submissions that address diverse aspects, both theoretical conceptualizations and empirical studies including curriculum decolonization, pedagogical strategies, ethical considerations, research activism, and institutional transformations in STEM disciplines. We invite high-quality Original Research articles, Reviews, Mini-Reviews, Systematic Reviews, Conceptual Analysis, and more. We will also consider proposals for forward-looking synthesis, and direction-defining commentary on the pedagogy and policy innovation around decolonization.
We welcome contributions that address, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- curriculum decolonization in STEM disciplines;
- pedagogical approaches and strategies;
- inclusive practices in STEM Higher Education;
- ethical considerations in STEM Research;
- institutional policies and transformations;
- diversity and representation in STEM Higher Education programs;
- indigenous knowledge systems in STEM Higher Education;
- decolonial perspectives on technology and innovation.
