Inverting Colonial Worlds

“Inverting Colonial Worlds” symposium will be focusing on the (de)coloniality of knowledge for and from the Americas. Indigenous scholars in the North have highlighted the way that liberal frameworks of justice can become problematic in their settings. Their work is in close dialogue with the decolonial turn in Latin America, which has not only expanded on this problematic view, but has also linked the emergence of modernity with capitalism and how this has been globally  instituted through what Anibal Quijano called the Coloniality of Power. Drawing these ecologies and knowledges together, has initiated a fruitful dialogue in the Global South as to how to effectively contest the coloniality of knowledge.

A full schedule and information for joining the hybrid session will be available soon!
