AB  - Analyses of reading lists by some UK Higher Education institutions in attempt to identify bias in curricula have found a prevalence of articles from the global north. However, previous studies have employed resource-intensive audit and data collection methods such as the authors or volunteers manually searching for and tagging individual reading list items by characteristic such as author country or place of publication. This can be prohibitive to repeating the study at different time periods or on large reading list data sets, which leads to a gap in evidence-based data to support and inform curriculum decolonisation. We describe a novel computational method applied to 568 articles, representing 3,166 authors from the Imperial College London Masters in Public Health (MPH) programme over two time periods (2017-18 and 2019-20). Using summary statistics, we found a shift in composite geographic distribution of reading lists sources across the two time periods studied and relate this to interventions to decolonise the curriculum at Imperial. Our approach to applying a computational method to produce data as evidence in decolonisation toolkits is discussed.
