Broaden my Bookshelf (BMB) is an initiative to increase the range of authors represented in the University of Huddersfield Library. The main focus is on books written by marginalised people (e.g. from a Black, Asian or minority ethnic background and/or who identify as LGBT+). It was launched in October 2018 and is delivered in collaboration with the University of Huddersfield Students Union (UHSU). It grew out of our desire to work with UHSU on improving the quality and breadth of reading lists, along with a growing awareness of issues raised by the Why is my curriculum White? Campaign.
BMB also aims to encourage and assist lecturers to diversify their reading lists. This led to the creation of a Reading List Toolkit in 2020. The Toolkit provides a rationale for decolonising and diversifying reading lists with testimonies from minoritized students. It also includes a checklist for lecturers to self-assess their lists, also access to the BMB book collection and relevant journal collections as well as less traditional resources, including video playlists and podcasts.
Throughout the period since 2018 the BMB team has worked to raise awareness of the campaign by organising events such as panel debates and an author event with the author and photographer Johny Pitts. We have also taken BMB out to the schools of the university with “roadshow” events and gathered feedback from students about their experiences of the curriculum from a diversity perspective. We have also promoted BMB each new academic year using a variety of print and social media, including videos created by the UHSU Education and Equalities Officers. Our latest promotional event was a Human Library which we ran at the university Teaching and Learning Conference on 28th June 2023.
This presentation was delivered at Reimagining Higher Education: journeys of decolonising at De Montfort University, Leicester, on Wednesday 8th November 2023.

It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte.

19. “Receiving email feedback is great – you don’t get
much feedback from within the University so to
receive it from listeners around the globe is great.”
“It’s a huge personal boost to receive feedback: as a
teacher it is just what you want to hear.”
“Releasing podcasts suited my subject (Censorship) I
was keen to disseminate my material as widely as
possible, particularly as my work involves releasing
previously secret documents.”
20. “Recording my lectures has become a routine part of
my life – I have slighted adapted my style now that
recordings are released because I used to refer to
handouts a lot but then I got inundated with email
requests for the handouts from listeners.”
“I’m now linking podcasts to a new online course and
they can be used as marketing materials to attract
people to the course.”
“I will be using podcast interviews as source material

23. “our more able students are being encouraged
to listen to the podcasts both to improve their
understanding of the plays and to encourage
them to believe that the Oxford is not a rarefied
and unattainable target, but operates at a level
they will find accessible.”
24. “As head of More Able and Talented at a large
state school, I am constantly looking for
resources to improve our teaching and your
podcasts are giving us just that opportunity.
Members of the English department are now
using Wittgenstein’s Dabbit illustration in the
way you did and finding it to be a very
effective approach …..”
25. Thank you for offering online your lectures on
introductory quantum mechanics, and thank
you for providing a PDF copy of your text. The
text is a marvellous resource, and your
lectures are exceptionally lucid and
compelling. I am learning a great deal and
enjoying them very much. I teach high school
science and maths, and I hope I can pass along
to my students (at least some of) these ideas
with the same excitement and clarity.

27. “I have recently enrolled in an Open University with the
plan to complete a BA in Philosophy, but the first unit
I have had to complete is a Study Skills unit which has
been so boring and mundane I have been questioning
whether to continue or not. Your enthusiasm for
philosophy is infectious and put me back on course to
continue my studies. Thanks again.”
