Integrating global perspectives in biomedical science education
Biomedical Sciences education has traditionally focused on Western paradigms, often overlooking the health challenges faced in less economically developed countries. Integrating global perspectives is essential, yet institutional guidelines lack clear directives for doing so. This perspective paper proposes a project-based learning (PBL) approach within undergraduate biomedical sciences modules, which focuses on tropical infectious diseases to pr…
Buddychecking, a Way to Enhance Student Participation in Bioscience Project-Based Learning
Project-based learning (PBL) is a widely used active learning approach in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education, but concerns about unequal participation in group work can arise. To address this, we incorporated peer evaluation via the Buddycheck tool into a summative PBL assessment. In this study, students worked in small groups to create and present posters, with Buddycheck enabling them to evaluate each other’s cont…
Reflecting on Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy among South Asian communities in the UK
COVID-19 has brought to light the systemic racism faced by ethnic minorities in the UK. During the pandemic, we saw an increase in anti-Asian hate crimes and a lack of support from the government given to both patients and healthcare workers from minority backgrounds on the front lines. This lack of support potentially contributed to the increased susceptibility of ethnic minorities to COVID-19 and also their hesitancy toward the vaccine, particu…
Laying the Groundwork to Investigate Diversity of Life Sciences Reading Lists in Higher Education and Its Link to Awarding Gaps
This study presents a case for decolonising the life sciences curriculum to improve representation of the Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) scholars—a step in eliminating the race “awarding gap”. Here, we investigated diversity among authors in terms of ethnicity and gender of reading lists at the School of Life Sciences, University of Sussex. We show that the reading lists are not diverse and do not represent the demography of the student…
