Decolonising Methodologies

Roundtable on Decolonising Methodologies

The roundtable session will be focusing broadly on decolonising approach in Education and International Development. In the session, we will be interested to engage in conversations around the following questions:

• What are the premises for decolonisation as a pedagogy in the discipline of education and international development?
• What are the limits to decolonisation?
• How in practice (outside academia) we can adopt a decolonisation framework?
• What alternative methodologies, vocabularies or archives do we need to adopt for decolonising research in non-western contexts?

The event will involve 15-20 minutes talk from each speaker followed by Q and A from the panellists.
