“Comparing postcolonial, decolonial and critical race theories” facilitated by Dr. Vanessa Andreotti (EDST).

This event was held on Friday Feb 8th in PCOH 2012.

Abstract 

In this session we will compare and contrast four different general approaches to social and epistemic injustices that have emerged from postcolonial, (Latin American) decolonial, Indigenous and critical race studies. We will engage with a social cartography that presents how each approach articulates a slightly different theory of change and use the comparisons to reflect on participants’ own theories of change. The exercise will highlight the contextual contributions and limitations of each theoretical approach, as well as their potential to support us to ask different questions in educational contexts.
