Decolonising the Curriculum Platform UCD
Decolonial Dialogues: Knowledge, Control & Access
Tuesday, 10 April 2018, 11 am, O'Brien Science Centre West B154A
This event is the second hosted by the Platform, following a group reflection held in February on Identity and the Curriculum. It is intended to be a day of discussion and dialogue focused around our two speakers. The two sessions are scheduled to leave time after each for further discussion and networking.
11-12pm : Dr. Chamindra Weerawardhana(SIBEAL, Irish Feminist and Gender Studies Network) ‘Decolonial Dialogues, North to South: Towards an Intelligible Conversation’
Dr. Weerawardhana will critically engage with the idea of viewing 'decolonial epistemologies' and 'decolonising the curriculum' as processes that are in dialogue with each other -- and not ends within themselves -- in order to make decoloniality intelligible to wider global audiences
1-2 pm: Dr. Marta Bustillo (UCD Librarian, College of Social Science and Law) ‘Information Access & the Decolonised Curriculum’
Dr. Bustillo will discuss the politics of the scholarly publications cycle, how they affect scholarship in the Global South, and how to use open access scholarship to bridge the knowledge gap.
The Decolonising the Curriculum Platform is a network of students and staff that was established to create a space for us to cultivate a community of practice in which to collectively discuss and develop ideas, activities, projects and practices that realise the transformative and mutually edifying potentials of our different ways of being, thinking, and doing.
This event is supported by the UCD School of Sociology & the MSocSc in Race, Migration and Decolonial Studies
