Every day in the media, commentators are ranting about how decolonising and diversifying efforts around curricula in universities are somehow watering down the quality of degrees.
I like to think of myself as a straight-talking pragmatist. Diversity is good, yes, but I roll my eyes at representation for the sake of representation. And as a student, I was a huge fan of thinkers and writers like Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer. So I often approach representation within current political and cultural systems with cynicism – deeming it largely empty anyway.
