About the Series and the Workshop
This is the third event as part of the Decolonial Research and Methodologies Seminar Series. The series provides a critical forum on law, race, and colonial legacies and fosters constructive dialogue across the university and beyond.
This workshop offers a unique opportunity to reflect on your research or practice through conversations with scholars from diverse fields.
It features three panels:
Decoloniality and the Digital World
Intersectional Decoloniality
Decolonial Writing as Praxis
Participants will explore how decolonial theory can inform research, teaching, and practice in an inclusive, interdisciplinary environment.
