This plenary roundtable will be the concluding event of the two-day workshop: Decolonization and its Forms of Knowledge Histories, Pedagogies, Methods, & Praxis, as part of the Decolonization Now workshop series.  

Roundtable description:

Bridging the concerns of our first two workshops, the possibilities of (counter)archiving decolonization and interrogating the pedagogies of decolonization, our closing plenary roundtable seeks to collectively examine the politics, practices and poetics of hope as a horizon of/for decolonization. Indeed, at a time when the moral-political futures that anti-colonial movements once demanded are superseded by new forms of neo-colonial violences and cultural nativisms, a decolonial “hope” might precisely yield the sources to re-imagine and practice pedagogies of/for change. By simultaneously looking back and forward from our present conjuncture, the roundtable – a conversation between archivists, academics and practitioners – will seek to conceptualize the stakes of hope as a pedagogy of/for decolonization.
