Abstract

How can we teach ‘forgotten’ histories of war and empire in the classroom, responding to urgent needs to ‘decolonize’ the curriculum and pedagogic practice? This article reflects on an exercise in pedagogical experimentation – a ‘widening participation’ project based upon a series of workshops – to demonstrate a more global and ‘messy’ understanding of the role of empire in the First and Second World Wars and their commemoration. We discuss the role of students and teachers as co-producers of knowledge, engaging with race and colonialism in the classroom, and the intervention of such work in the project of ‘decolonizing’ curricula.

《帝国与战争》教学：在课堂上动画化边缘化历史

我们如何在课堂上教授“被遗忘”的战争史和帝国史，以应对课程和教学实践“非殖民化”的迫切需求？这篇文章回顾了一项教学实验——一个基于一系列研讨会的“扩大参与”项目——以展示对帝国在第一次和第二次世界大战及其纪念活动中的作用的更全球化和“混乱”的理解。我们讨论了学生和教师作为知识的共同生产者的作用，在课堂上参与种族和殖民主义，以及这些工作在“非殖民化”课程项目中的干预。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
