Postcolonial SeminarDecolonially (Y)ours: Conference Participation and Collective Authorship as Decolonial Practice
Anjeline de Dios
Institute of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology UW, room 104
Can one strive for decoloniality within institutional knowledge production? Speaking as a foreign para-academic operating in international (European) academia, I hopefully and urgently call for the possibility of embodying post- and de-colonial theory through the mundane politics of inclusive intellectual work. This talk revolves around my experiences of “Music’s institution and the (de)colonial,” a conference organized in May 2023 in Lund University, Sweden—first as a participant, and second as lead author of the ensuing post-conference article. Our collective experience shows how the temporary community of the conference, at different stages of the organizational process, could uphold a spirit of academic hospitality, curiosity, conviviality, and ultimately allyship—attributes which support structural aims of equity, diversity, and inclusivity.
