Decolonizing Pedagogies Workshop
Decolonizing Pedagogies Workshop
”In an effort to identify and dismantle power structures and teachings that have legacies of colonialism, racism, and imperialism and remove them from the classroom, the School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS) [at University of Michigan] has launched a program to begin decolonizing class syllabi. Decolonizing the curriculum includes rethinking and changing the content to be more inclusive of different voices, as well as 'questioning the very production of knowledge and even re-learning how to read texts.'” Since this effort began, an engaged group of students and faculty collectively work together to address and improve curriculum standards across the university.
