ABSTRACT

This chapter outlines how Black feminist thought critically contributes to decolonial efforts, both inside and outside of academic institutions. It draws upon the seminal work of Black feminists and women of colour, who share a commitment to sustaining intersecting anti-racist and anti-sexist activities. The chapter incorporates excerpts from in-depth interviews with Black women in Britain, conducted as part of the work as a doctoral researcher. It argues for the wider inclusion of Black feminist contributions in academic curricula, along with broadening the plurality of perspectives that are included. Along with studies of race and gender, curriculum studies have been recognized as being a domain within which Black feminist thought can flourish, albeit one where Black feminism still has a marginal status. As efforts to decolonize minds and academia persist, so too will dissemination of Black feminist thought via creative and digital channels, devoid of the constraints of institutional educational outlets.
