Attendees will have the chance to explore conceptualisations of hierarchies of knowledges and practices, and overlaps and differences between post- and de- colonial thinking, as well as consider how Latin American decolonial studies can contribute to their everyday academic practices.
Speakers from different disciplines will first discuss the significance and complexities embedded in Latin American decolonial praxis through case studies and ongoing debates. Then, attendees will be asked to reflect on their academic practices and consider how Latin American decolonial studies can contribute to their everyday academic practices.
