Section Title:
Decolonizing Knowledge
Section Info:
This course examines the multiple streams, sites, and positionalities of contestation, rethinking, and renewed knowledge production that have contributed to the theory, methodology, praxis, politics, and poetics associated with the “decolonizing generations.” Anthropologists around the world, in dialogue with each other and with thinkers from other fields, are probing the interplay of knowledge and power in light of problems germane to modernity/coloniality, including white supremacy, heteropatriarchy, and accumulation by exploitation and expropriation in racial capitalism. These scholars dare to re-imagine possibilities for knowledge otherwise beyond the confining boundaries of the cognitive empire toward regenerative landscapes for epistemic equity. Course meets with ANTH 515
