My groundbreaking monograph Decolonising the History Curriculum: Eurocentrism in Primary School Education. London: Palgrave Macmillan https://www.palgrave.com/gb/book/9783030579449#aboutAuthors has seen me requested to share my leadership, expertise and evidenced-based research work on Decolonising Curriculum Knowledge with many national and international authorities including:

The House of Commons - UK Parliament;

The Chartered College of Teaching;

The National Education Union;

The British Educational Research Association (BERA);

My leadership on Decolonising Curriculum Knowledge has been disseminated widely and internationally in publications such as Decolonising the Curriculum - Transnational Perspectives see https://cris.brighton.ac.uk/admin/files/11981971/MONCRIEFFE_2020_Special_issue_pages_BERA_Research_Intelligence_142.pdf.

I am presently co-editing Decolonising Curriculum Knowledge: International Perspectives, Interdisciplinary Approaches, to be published by Palgrave MacMillan in 2022.

I am also a world leading expert on the history and lives of Black cycling champions. 

My original research work entitled Made in Britain: Uncovering the life-histories of Black-British Champions in Cycling has won wide international acclaim for its anti-racist messaging in support of diversity and inclusion in cycling. My research work has been exhibited in various famous venues across the UK. This has also featured in multiple publications and broadcasts on BBC Television, BBC Radio, Sky TV, Eurosport, ITV Tour de France, Australian and USA Radio. I work with and advise national and international organisations such as British Cycling and the 2023 World Cycling Championships Sports Advisory Group.

My forthcoming monograph is Desire*Discrimination*Determination: Black Champions in Cycling will be published in August 2021 by Rapha Editions, Blue Train Publishing

Decolonising Curriculum Knowledge (Primary School, Secondary School, Higher Education)

Anti-Racism in Education;

Anti-Racism in Sport;

20c Black-British History;
