Workshop: "Decolonizing Research – An Invitation to Learn and Unlearn from Different Entry Points"

Part of an online workshop series in relation to the annual conference "Decolonizing Swiss Research Collaborations" by KFPE

Using graphical tools it will be explored different entry points to possible radical shifts as well as gradual changes towards decolonial research project designs. Workshop participants are invited to share their experiences in a safe space, collect criteria and critically reflect on the structures, institutions, and current dynamics that need to be reshaped in order to deconstruct and dismantle coloniality in research projects. 

The aim is to offer a space where concrete examples, big underlying assumptions, and questions that shape the understanding and behavior can be discussed. The participants will split into the breakout rooms of their choice. After a brief period of questions and discussion, participants will be invited to explore questions from their own experience and understanding. It will be started from each participant’s situated knowledge, offering some literature, concepts and examples. 

The workshop will be articulated around guiding questions and concepts to activate the dialogues and explore the topics together. Building on these different perspectives and entry points the aim is to draw a multi-faceted picture of ideas on how to engage in decolonial approaches.

Organised by Kenza Benabderrazik, Eva Goldmann, Akanksha Singh, Fernando Sousa, Johanna Jacobi
