AbstractThe decolonisation movement that emerged from the ‘Fees Must Fall’ protests has become a home of hope for many seeking radical change in education. It has also, however, created unease among others, including students and faculty, as it has adopted a race-based rationale to press its demands. Prof Long walks us through the discipline of psychology to explain the ideas that guide this movement and why it has departed from the universal principles of a coalition of people working towards a just and humane society.
