(De)coloniality in the academy: Exploring ways of harnessing and appreciating diversity

University is a space not devoid of coloniality. Colonial legacies impact knowledge production, dissemination and consequently learning experiences of students across different backgrounds. Guided by decolonial theory, in this workshop we will examine: Whose knowledge is valid/valued and whose is not and why? How does this influence the experience of attaining knowledge beyond the academic space? How can we appreciate diverse ways of knowing? What is the de-linking strategy
Venue: Audimax building (C01 AMG 0007), University Erfurt
Start: 4 pm
