Full Description
Colonising and Decolonising argues for a decolonised and ethicised curriculum. Grounded in an interdisciplinary approach, it draws upon the fields of history, sociology, education, anthropology, philosophy, indigenous studies, and more, to allow a nuanced and multifaceted exploration of the subject matter.
Focusing on the concepts and practices of coloniality and decoloniality, it uses this focus as a framework for positioning concepts as acquired dispositions in the way we live. Philosophical topics addressed include: concepts and descriptors: knowledge, facts and values, free will and volition, coloniality, decoloniality, curriculum, sapience, strong normative evaluations, pedagogy, rationality, freedom, ethics, learning practices, thinking, ecology, imaginative possibility, and inclusion.
A robust and erudite exploration of the imperative of decolonisation, this volume will appeal to scholars and researchers across a broad range of disciplines including specialist fields of education research, decolonial theory, sociology, epistemology, and philosophy of education.
