Epistemic Decolonisation: what, why, how? [Veli Mitova]

Date: JJan 15th 2021

Speaker: Veli Mitova (University of Johannesburg)

Chair: Zinhle Mncube



The decolonisation of knowledge is finally – and happily – becoming a hot topic in anglophone philosophy. But what exactly is epistemic decolonisation? why should we engage in it? and how should we go about it? In this talk, I draw on African thinkers to construct a roadmap of the terrain along these three axes for theorising epistemic decolonisation, and to argue that some answers to the what, why, and how questions are better than others.
