A new team joins the Collaboratory with a 5×5 Incubator grant. This team will discuss alternative frameworks rooted in anti-colonial histories of the Global South to rethink mainstream knowledge production practices in the Global North drawing from different research, learning, and community engagement traditions. Motivating questions include: What does it mean to practice anti-colonial research, pedagogy, and community engagement as scholars of the Global South while being situated in the Global North? What are some of the past and possible connections between feminist, queer, anti-racist, anti-colonial, and other social justice-oriented research, teaching, and community engagement practices in different parts of the world that we can draw on? How can research and teaching in/on the Global South be mobilized to build more just and anti-colonial futures across and beyond the university and borders?
This project is led by Seda Saluk, Assistant Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies.
