Decolonization: Rethinking the coloniality of power, knowledge and being. <\/strong>This second event in the Decolonization and Questions of Justice in the University series features Dr. Ndlovu-Gatsheni and Dr. Altamirano-Jim\u00e9nez who will explore theories and practices of decolonization, knowledge production in the contemporary university, and the rhetoric of liberation and freedom across time and space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning with the contemporary politics of knowledge, Dr. Ndlovu-Gatsheni\u2019s presentation will examine several interrelated themes: the need for a critical reflection on the grammars of liberation; the decolonial \u201cturns\u201d in a long struggle for liberation; the African experience with decolonization of knowledge; and, finally, conclude with a focus on the resurgent and insurgent decolonization of the 21st century. In examining decolonization beyond the English-speaking world, Dr. Altamirano-Jim\u00e9nez\u2019s presentation will explore knowledge production, thinking feeling and interculturality; decoloniality and its discontents; decolonization in relation to land, body and Indigenous freedom; and, finally, conclude with a discussion of thinking-feeling-doing Indigenous futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TWENTY YEARS OF A \u201cWAR ON TERROR”: ISLAMOPHOBIA, RACE, GENDER AND IMPERIALISM<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The events of September 11, 2001, inaugurated a “war on terror” whose effects have been profound and wide-ranging. This workshop will explore a range of political and legal concerns on this topic: security regimes and securitization, methods of surveillance on racialized populations, the renewal of gendered forms of Islamophobia, and neo-imperial warfare in the Middle East, North Africa and Asia, all of which are part of the ongoing reconfiguration of the global order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
