Join us for some casual monthly reading and thinking centered on decolonial thought.
Based on the following definition, we will discuss how decolonisation, as decoloniality in action, impacts our research, practices and identities.
Decoloniality is the dismantling of relationships of power and conceptions of knowledge that foment the reproduction of racial, gender, and geo-political hierarchies that came into being or found new and more powerful forms of expression in the modern/colonial world. (Maldonado-Torres, 2006, p. 117).
The first meeting is happening tomorrow: Wednesday 28th March, 10am-12pm in WG606.
We are recommending this two readings for the session:
Mignolo, W. D. (2007). Delinking: The rhetoric of modernity, the logic of coloniality and the grammar of de-coloniality. Cultural studies, 21(2-3), 449-514.
Tuck, E., & Yang, K. W. (2012). Decolonization is not a metaphor. Decolonization: Indigeneity, education & society, 1(1).

Great Abigail. Feel free to join in the meeting today at 10am in WG606, or email the organisers to keep in touch for future meet-ups.
Is this group still meeting? I would love to join if so!
Hi Madeleine, unfortunately that group has since stopped meeting. You can find the current list of Research Students Peer Groups here: https://student.aut.ac.nz/postgraduate-research/postgraduate-student-community-and-events/student-peer-groups (AUT login required). Or, if you want to start your own group, drop me a line: anaise.irvine@aut.ac.nz.
