Mon 5th July - 5PM BST - Practical and critical approaches to epistemic
decolonisation in/for philosophy
Practical and critical approaches to epistemic decolonisation in/for
philosophy: Panel Discussion
Monday 5th July - 5PM BST / 6PM CEST/SAST - Online
We are pleased to share details of this online panel discussion, which follows
on from the online seminar series organised earlier this year, 'What is
epistemic decolonisation?'.
Our aim for the seminar series was to build on wider ongoing conversations and
contributions, in order to further discussion and reflection amongst
philosophers, and philosophers of science in particular, concerning the
legacies and influences of colonial power on our understandings of knowledge
production (i.e. what science is, and how it works). We intended the series to
explore what kinds of redirection, reorientation, and change are needed in the
field to address these issues. We had speakers in the series that asked
broader questions about what epistemic decolonization means and what it would
look like (generally, and in the context of philosophy of science), as well
speakers who centered non-western philosophy in their work. For recordings of
the seminars, see: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPyyg1hqe6ORj0DcxlT8CZQ
Leading on from the stimulating philosophical work platformed by the seminar
series, this panel discussion will reflect on how these
conceptual/philosophical questions might translate into material change. This
event will explore questions of how we go about pushing for changes that
involve processes of epistemic decolonisation, what kinds of
activism/organising in academic spaces are going on or what that might look
like, as well as careful reflection on the term 'epistemic decolonisation' and
how it relates to material decolonisation. Panellists will reflect on their
own efforts with regard to epistemic decolonisation in academic spaces, and
share any proposals regarding recent or future activities which might inspire
audience members looking for ways to contribute.
Panellists:
Helen De Cruz (St Louis University)
Rory Kent (University of Cambridge)
Arianne Shahvisi (Brighton & Sussex Medical School)
Siseko Kumalo (University of Pretoria)
