Decolonization is Not a Metaphor: Pedagogy & Praxis
- Campus Unit: Diversity Training and Education
- Updated:
In recent decades calls to decolonize
curriculums, classrooms and minds grow more and more urgent. In this
panel discussion, we take this conversation further—what does the work
of decolonization actually require of us as instructors, scholars and
leaders? What would happen if we saw higher education within the context
of a long legacy of settler colonialism? And why has this language been
so easy to co-opt? Join us in the second installment of the Anti-Racism
Toolkit programming series, “Transforming Knowledge to Action.”
