Cambridge SU Decolonisation Conference 2026 (17/03/2026, 10:00)

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 17:02:10 Z

The Decolonisation Conference aims to not only engage with decolonial theory, but attempt to understand coloniality in our current global context, specifically focusing on coloniality in education, community relationships and health. In collaboration the Sociology Society and with speakers from Cambridge University, the Black curriculum, we will engage with Decolonial theory to allows us to build a greater understanding of what Decolonial praxis actually looks like in an ever evolving political climate and in deeply unchanging institutions.

To attend panels, workshops and roundtables offered by the conference, please confirm your place by booking a (free) ticket! A complementary lunch and refreshments will be provided.

View the papers for Easter 1 on the Student Council page: https://www.cambridgesu.co.uk/makeachange/studentcouncil/papers/ (available on 13th May)

All students are welcome to come to Student Council to propose, debate motions and contribute to discussions. Each College, School and Student Representative Group has voting members who represent their constituencies.

Council usually takes place in term time, at 6.30pm. There will be two council meetings in Michaelmas and Lent, and one meeting in Easter.

In person attendance is recommended, however there is an online option on Teams for voting members. Please use your University crsid@cam.ac.uk Microsoft account. No guest accounts will be admitted as we need to be able to confirm attendees are students and voting members. You will enter the lobby first and then be admitted. The Teams link will be emailed to voting members.

The Student Council is made up of elected representatives. These are:

The five Cambridge SU Sabbatical Officers
2 representatives per College of the University; 1 for each J/MCR except where there is only one common room in a college
2 Academic Representatives per School of the University; 1 Undergraduate and 1 Postgraduate
12 Liberation Reps from the Executive Committee; 1 Undergraduate and 1 Postgraduate

Proposing Motions

Motions passed at Student Council direct the work of the SU. You just need a proposer and a seconder to send a motion to Student Council for discussion, and any student can do it. If you’d like to know more about the format of Council motions, or have other questions about submitting one, email chair@cambridgesu.co.uk. You can also view an example motion for guidance.

Debates and Amendments

After a motion is introduced by its proposer, there is an opportunity for questions about it and debate. Amendments to motions can be submitted in advance of the meeting. More detail about this is available in the by-laws Chapter 1.

Substantial amendments must be submitted to chair@cambridgesu.co.uk by noon on the day of the Council meeting, except in the case of amendments to emergency motions which may be submitted up until the start of the meeting.
