Decolonial dreams: the unmarked scholar reimagines the purpose of post-16 education

Carol Azumah Dennis, wearing a white top and smiling at the camera

In her inaugural lecture, on Thursday 3 April 2025, Carol Azumah Dennis, Professor of Education, Policy and Practice in The Open University’s Faculty of Wellbeing, Education and Language Studies, looked at decolonising education, offering a manifesto which envisions an alternative vision of what the sector might be.

Starting with a reflexive account of who she is and the stance from which she speaks, Professor Dennis uses a series of “what if” speculations to develop a vision of an alternative future for post-16 education.
