Tools and practices of diversity and (de)colonization: school cultures, teaching technologies, and educational strategies.

Diversity and (de)coloniality of educational histories in schools, museums and beyond: spaces and institutions.

The quest for diversity and (de)colonization in educational historiography: methods, archives and sources.

Diversity and (de)coloniality in teaching educational history: Which narratives of the past? Which pedagogies?
