[CANCELLED – CSH Seminar] Dissonant Intimacies (S. Roy)

This event has been cancelled.

The Centre de Sciences Humaines is pleased to invite you to the CSH Seminar  on:

Dissonant Intimacies

Speaker: Srila Roy 

About the Talk:

This talk develops an approach to decolonising higher education from a global south feminist perspective. Situating my ideas and arguments in current calls to decolonise, I trace key social fault lines – around race, caste and nationalism – that have shaped specific institutional dynamics in higher education in India and South Africa. Just as the South African student movements prefigured calls to decolonise the university, a “decolonial Hindutva” acts as a cautionary tale for all committed to social justice. Frustrations around the decolonial turn do not prompt an abandoning of the concept, however. Rather, it inspires a different kind of curiosity and commitment when it comes to engaging the global South, in the name of decolonising.
