Voices from the Margins: New Ideas about Decolonising Social Knowledge

Organised by The British Academy Global Professor of History, Department of History, SALC & Division of Psychology and Mental Health
About this Event

Join us for a seminar that looks at decolonisation from different cultural, social, and everyday perspectives.

We will explore what decolonisation means in real life, focusing on people’s everyday experiences and the social and historical contexts that shape them. The aim is to encourage open discussion across different disciplines and to think about new ways of researching and understanding these issues.

The seminar also aims to highlight and centre the voices and experiences of people who are often underrepresented in research. This seminar is a hybrid event, please indicate your preference.

Lunch will be served at 12pm, and the seminar will formally start at 1pm.
