A look into our courses at V-NYI #9! This co-taught advanced seminar will reflect on how to put the philosophy of decolonization into practice in daily life through decolonizing different structural, institutional, individual, collective and emotional spaces around us. Dr. Danielle Arendse will introduce the phenomenon of decolonization and decoloniality in details. Then, Dr. Sayan Dey will carry forward the introductory discourses towards the aspect of decolonizing colonial spaces around us. In order to facilitate the discussions, the readings will focus on decolonial theories, methodologies, and philosophies on the one side and on decolonizing universities, museums, walkways, beaches, and cafeterias on the other.
