A thought-provoking piece about decolonisation and decoloniality. S/o to the Moya crew and NtsikiMazwaiMedia

The comments on this Jacobin piece — which complains that academic “decoloniality” discourse is mostly puffed up pseudo-radicalism — are absolutely wild lol.

Scholars of 'decoloniality' and Zionists have come to a mutual understanding that Israel fits into a legacy of Western European imperialism by pretending that Arabs are kind of black and Jews are kind of white. I find this unconvincing.

Lastly, this is some Communist Goobledygook but it made me laugh. Stephen Sheehi says that lazy white capitalist who are used to privilege want a cleaning product that they can also put on spaghetti and that is not what decoloniality is.

How does this man have a job?

May we have more thinkers contesting in the battle of ideas to dismantle coloniality…

In my fortchcoming book (Cambridge University Press, April 2024) I discuss the tensions between multilingual society & the monolingual policy mindset, decoloniality & neoliberalism, the city as multilingual utopia and prospects & constraints on university public engagement

While decoloniality is a made up discipline for lefties who find basic math too hard, the colonialism cheerleaders are their mirror image who apparently can neither understand math nor history.

Is it decoloniality or re-coloniality of applied linguistics that we are engaging with? What decolonialities are possible to account for the Global South(s) and their varying degrees of colonizability?

In this article we grapple with these questions and others🙂

There's an intense irony in 'post-colonialism' and 'decoloniality', in that the philosophical frameworks of the colonized (like Iqbal for example) are often irrelevant and marginalized by post-colonial theory, while the frameworks based in largely western theories (like marx for…

My recent work on the myopic focus on decoloniality in @ALx research is published in the upcoming special issue on 'Epistemological theft and appropriation in ALx research' in Applied Linguistics Review/De Gruyter MOUTON, edited by Prof. Othman (Osman) Barnawi and Hamza R'boul.

Decolonisation in education is a must, it would help people carry the right understanding and attitudes towards historic and present colonial structures, hard and soft. From foundation phase all the way to MBA - there has to be an element of decoloniality. We cannot afford to…

Spoke on 'the State of IR Pedagogy in South Asia and the Geoepistemological Hierarchies' at FASS - AIR UNIVERSITY ISLAMABAD FES Pakistan Conference. It was a really enriching experience as the debate revolved around decoloniality and the South Asian episteme.

This is very serious. How will universities keep faculty who write about decolonization & decoloniality safe from physical harm?

“we should not underestimate the speed with which capital is able to absorb ideas and turn them into empty slogans. why wouldn’t capital be able to incorporate the idea of decolonization or decoloniality?”

We can't talk about 'decoloniality' without acknowledging the ways in which the spaces we produce knowledge in are complicit in perpetuating settler colonial brutality in Palestine. We need to dismantle the material structures that sustain that violence. I’m hopeful that we can.

We must not teach young learners the quintessential colonial method—wait for a people to die, make a museum of their genocide, then set up departments of decoloniality over their mass graves

This week is the Decoloniality Summer School.

Bittersweet news: I’ve been accepted into a programme I’ve always wanted to study but my colleagues intervened and said: “NOPE, you’re doing your PhD and then you can do all that other nonsense”
They are seasoned…
