PhD Researcher in Education (ESRC+3)
Department of Education, University of Bath
Start date: October 2022
Research topic: Decolonising Nigerian Higher Education Curriculum: Re-examining the Philosophy, Policy and Structure for Inclusion and Narrative Transformation
My research explores inclusion and exclusion issues within the Nigerian higher education system. I have selected an ethnography design to contribute to the decolonial discourse, its struggle and transformation of higher education, especially in the global south, and bring to the fore the issues around Inclusion and exclusion raised by the admission policy and selection into higher education. Finally, I hope my research will give the oppressed or marginalised students the avenue to share their everyday experiences of inequity and inequalities in the university.
