Presented for the Stott-Bediako Forum
Universities are, at their core, projects of capitalist dominance and Euro-American thought. They, even those that seek to champion indigeneity, can be complicit in research models, knowledge production and curation, pedagogy, and education that can perpetuate colonialist tendencies. Yet higher education throughout the world–from Tribal Colleges to Liberal Arts College, to Research Universities, to State-Run Institutions, to Christian colleges and universities–is an important key to decolonizing the colonizer, the colonized, and others beyond the binary. In this contribution, Alex compiles and provides resources on decolonization and the university and presents it in a way so that viewers can explore and dialogue together.
