Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) is investigating work it published that was co-authored by Prof Jason Arday, who has resigned from his University of Cambridge roles<\/a> following allegations of plagiarism.<\/p>\n

The paper, published in 2021, looked at the impact of what was taught in universities on “Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) learners” and “academics of colour”.<\/p>\n

Queen’s had published a paper on its academic research site co-authored by Arday and other academics from the university.<\/p>\n

Arday is facing accusations of fabricating or exaggerating elements of his CV. He has defended himself and his work.<\/p>\n

In a statement to BBC News NI, a spokesperson for QUB said: “We are aware that Professor Arday’s research, co-authored with academics from Queen’s, is published on our academic research platform.<\/p>\n

“We are currently looking into the matter and liaising with other UK universities in relation to it.”<\/p>\n

The paper is called “Attempting to break the chain: Reimaging inclusive pedagogy and decolonising the curriculum within the academy”.<\/p>\n

“The centrality of whiteness as an instrument of power and privilege ensures that particular types of knowledge continue to remain omitted from our curriculums,” the work said.<\/p>\n

Part of the work was based on interviews with students and staff, who are quoted.<\/p>\n

“When you think about our curriculum it is actually very white and in many respects quite exclusionary,” one female student, described as “mixed-heritage,” said.<\/p>\n

“Talking about race and racism\u2026 and decolonising the curriculum is really difficult\u2026 especially in a classroom space,” a black male student said.<\/p>\n

The paper recommended changing the curriculum in universities to make it more inclusive and less “Eurocentric”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) is investigating work it published that was co-authored by Prof Jason Arday, who has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":316948,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-316947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316947","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=316947"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316947\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/316948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=316947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=316947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=316947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
