Erasure of history, colonialism, and its effects
This paper reflects on history education in two postcolonial countries, Pakistan and Ghana, prompted by recent discussions about residential schools in Canada and The 1619 Project in the U.S. Drawing on decolonial theory and Sankofa, we conduct a critical discourse analysis of the history curricula in both countries to examine how colonialism and its consequences are addressed. We focus on what the curriculum says about colonialism/the colonial p…

We also question whether IRBs shoul…
