Decolonizing the University Symposium

Description

Public Event of the Decolonial Summer School 2015, organised by Patricia Schor, Olivier Kramsch, Daniel Mandur Thomaz and Rolando Vázquez This day-long symposium is meant to enable reflection on the mechanisms of coloniality inscribed in the university. Through feminist, aesthetic and political practices we seek to open alternatives paths towards a decolonial way of living the university. The event is part of a broader, intellectual and political project that crosses the boundaries of academic scholarship, institution building and activism. The event aims to provide a space of exchange based on analytical diagnosis and personal experience. Speakers will be invited to address critical questions related to their scholarly as well as activist positionalities. The discussions that will follow each panel will be geared towards the pursuit of strategies of awareness, resistance and change.
