SUMMARY:Decolonization: Rethinking the coloniality of power, knowledge and being - University of Calgary
DESCRIPTION:The Courageous Conversations Speaker Series hosted by the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion presents:
Decolonization: Rethinking the coloniality of power, knowledge and being. This second event in the Decolonization and Questions of Justice in the University series features Dr. Ndlovu-Gatsheni and Dr. Altamirano-Jiménez who will explore theories and practices of decolonization, knowledge production in the contemporary university, and the rhetorics of liberation and freedom across time and space.
Beginning with the contemporary politics of knowledge, Dr. Ndlovu-Gatsheni’s examines several interrelated themes: the need for a critical reflection on the grammars of liberation; decolonial “turns” in a long struggle for liberation; the African experience with decolonization of knowledge; and, finally, conclude with a focus on the resurgent and insurgent decolonization of the 21st century. In examining decolonization beyond the English-speaking world, Dr. Altamirano-Jiménez explores knowledge production, thinking feeling and interculturality; decoloniality and its discontents; decolonization in relation to land, body and Indigenous freedom; and, finally, conclude with a discussion of thinking-feeling-doing Indigenous futures.
