FreshEd #256 – Decolonizing Education (Shahjahan, Estera, Edwards)
Today we explore what it means to decolonize education. My guests are Riyad Shahjahan, Annabelle Estera, and Kirsten Edwards. Together with Kristen Surla, they conducted a literature review of 207 articles about the topic. They show that the very idea of decolonizing takes on diverse meanings and subsequently is put into practice in different ways. They argue there is no one way or best practice to decolonize curriculum or pedagogy. They also detail some of the challenges of actualizing decolonization.
Riyad Shahjahan is an associate professor of higher, adult, and lifelong Education at Michigan State University. Annabelle Estera is an Advisor and Instructor in Graduate Education at Endicott College. Kirsten Edwards is an Associate Professor in educational policy studies at Florida International University.
Their new co-written article is “‘Decolonizing’ curriculum and pedagogy: A comparative review across disciplines and global higher education contexts” published in the Review of Educational Research.

FreshEd #353 – Student Protests in the USA (Neal Hutchens)
Today we unpack the fast-evolving student protests in the USA. With me is Neal Hutchens, a professor at the University of Kentucky’s College of Education. Much of Neal’s work focuses on issues of free speech and academic freedom.
Neal Hutchens serves on the author team for the forthcoming edition of The Law of Higher Education: Essentials for Legal and Administrative Practice published by Wiley.
I spoke with Neal on April 30, hours before the police entered Columbia University’s campus and counter-protesters attacked the pro-Palestinian tent encampment at University of California, Los Angeles. The situation is likely to change by the time this episode airs on May 5.

Customer Reviews
Absolutely brilliant
I was introduced to this podcast in one of my graduate school courses. We were assigned to listen to a few podcasts of interviews Will did that were relevant to the class theme for that week.
I am now addicted. The guests bring a wealth of knowledge about education but also other areas. Will asks some great questions and pushes the interview to great depth in such a short time. I’ve learned so much from these podcasts.
Highly recommend if you are interested in what goes on behind the scenes in education.
I love it!
I want to keep up with the lastest ideas in education, but I read enough already. Thoughtful questions and interesting answers from great minds!
Interesting and accessible
This podcast does an excellent job of making complex ideas more accessible by highlighting public intellectuals whose research has substantial implications in the real world, particularly in education systems.
