Decolonization as a practice?!

As part of the ongoing lecture series “Decolonizing Anthropology - A self-critical appraisal of the current state of research and teaching”, students from the Freie Universität Berlin sit down with Adela Taleb and Ibou Diop in a participatory roundtable discussion to address decolonisation from a perspective that expands beyond the university. The aim of this exchange is to move away from academia and its neocolonial limitations and discuss themes such as the legitimacy and radical restructuring of knowledge production modes and institutions, the artificially created divisions amongst disciplines, collaborative work with activist groups and the possibility of multimodality and interdisciplinary strategies to actually change and, one day, decolonize both academia and the world beyond it.
