SUMMARY:Decolonising Social Research Series: Decolonising Epistemologies
DESCRIPTION:Sign Up Here\nThis roundtable will engage with the active process of decolonising knowledges\, by presenting alternative epistemologies and praxis emanating from the global South. We will commence by offering a critique of established Western epistemologies\, showing how they contribute to forms of colonisation\, past and present\, and limit possibilities for research. The discussion will then look at examples of non-dominant and non-dominating ways of knowing which are slowly gaining presence in contemporary research. We will engage with the pluriverse\, forging links between theorising and activism\, and acknowledging the possibilities for knowledge production and solidarity which emerge from building decolonial epistemology. Focussing on the categories of race\, gender\, caste\, and sexuality\, this conversation will offer alternative visions/futures not just of relations between people but of people within the beyond-human world. \n  \nPanelists \nSamson O. Opondo\, Vassar College: \nSamson O. Opondo’s research is guided by an interest in colonialism\, race and the mediation of estrangement. With an emphasis on violence\, ethics\, and diplomacies of everyday life\, he engages the problematics of humanitarianism\, the politics of redemption and the popular culture in urban Africa. He teaches courses on comparative politics\, settler colonialism\, postcolonial diplomatic cultures and African cities at Vassar College. \n  \nGajendran Ayyathurai\, Göttingen University: \nGajendran Ayyathurai studies the history and anthropology of modern India. The problem of caste and why\, how\, and in what ways privileged castes hegemonize and perpetuate marginality\, and the anticaste cultural and political histories of the marginalized animates his research\, publishing\, and teaching interests. The historical anthropology of indentured labor from South Asia during colonialism and the Indian diaspora in colonial and postcolonial times are also part of his present and future projects. As a postdoctoral fellow at the Centre for Modern Indian Studies (Göttingen University\, Germany)\, he is engaged in the study of Tamil Buddhism in South Indian cities. \n  \nSabiha Allouche\, University of Exeter: \nSabiha Allouche works in the fields of Gender and Sexuality Studies and Middle East politics. She is an interdisciplinary researcher whose work bridges the gap between political analysis and anthropological writing. Methodologically\, she privileges empirically grounded analysis\, including ethnographic work\, story-telling and life histories\, in order to prioritize the lived reality\, alongside discourse analysis. While being primarily situated within feminist and queer studies\, her work engages with feminist approaches to violence\, conflict\, migration\, and social mobility. Dedicated to producing decolonised knowledge\, she is particularly interested in the racialised\, sexed and gendered logics that construe international relations both as discipline and practice. \n  \nEsmeralda Mariel Martínez Gutiérrez\, Autonomous University of Mexico City: \nEsmeralda graduated from the National Autonomous University of Mexico with a Degree in Communication Sciences with a specialty in Audiovisual Production. She is the co-founder of Insubordinadas\, a hack feminist collective that seeks to decentralize knowledge around the internet and the use of technologies for information\, communication and art; generating processes of feminist popular pedagogy and unschooling in the outskirts of Mexico City since 2016. Esmeralda is also the co-founder of “Reynx Rata”\, a trans-peripheral collective that works in the teaching and virtual dissemination of transfeminist activism and philosophy from a community\, anti-capitalist and decolonial approach; conducting open study circles and sharing readings\, visual and audiovisual content around and with sectors that are less visible or denied by hegemonic feminism (that is\, sex workers\, the trans community\, migrants\, indigenous communities\, domestic workers\, among others) from a critique of identity and intersectionality politics as uncritical\, colonial places of systemic co-optation and reinforcement of differences. Esmeralda works as the Dissemination and Continuing Education coordinator of the lecture series in Human Trafficking at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. \n  \nThe Decolonising Social Research seminar series is for doctoral researchers (and their supervisors) at any and every stage of the doctoral journey\, who aspire for their research to contribute towards decolonisation in any space or form. Through the short series of events\, we aim to stimulate debate around the tough questions that decolonisation poses for social research\, to forge supportive networks across universities of the South West and to signpost readings and resources. Across the series\, we will engage with the work of established scholars who have published on different aspects of decolonising research\, the ideas and experiences of early career researchers\, as well as representatives of marginalised groups\, whose knowledge has historically been excluded from the academy. \n  \nFor each seminar\, we will provide recommended reading for those wishing to explore the issues raised further. The seminars will take place as a webinar via Zoom. On registration\, participants will receive an email with the Zoom link and recommended reading for the seminar. \nForthcoming seminars in the series: \nDecolonising research ethics 17th December 2020 2-4pm \nDecolonising methodology 14th January 2021 2-4pm \nDecolonising writing and representation – 21st January 2020 2-4pm

SUMMARY:Decolonising Social Research Seminar Series: Decolonising Theory
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Foluke Adebisi\, Mark Jackson and Arathi Sriprakash (all University of Bristol)\n\n \n\nWhen it comes to conceptualising a research problem\, we often turn to literature and pre-existing theoretical frameworks. The social sciences grew up alongside the European project of world domination and competition through colonisation. Hence\, much of the established canon of disciplinary knowledge has contributed to the imperial project of colonisation and contemporary relations of oppression. On the other hand\, scholarship resisting and opposing colonisation also has a long and deep history including scholars identifying with marginalised and oppressed racial groups in the Global North and scholars form the global South.\n\n \n\nThis session will examine what it could mean when we talk about decolonising theory. Does it mean different things in different disciplines? How do we reconcile the co-optation of decolonising within the agenda of HE with our various understandings of decolonial thought? What questions of praxis arise when we apply decolonial thought to theorising?\n\n \n\nClick here to sign up!

SUMMARY:REFORMULATING THE ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS. Critical Theory Symposium
DESCRIPTION:One-Day Symposium\nStanding Seminar in Critical Theory\nfunded by the South West Doctoral Training Partnership\n15th of June – The Edge – University of Bath Campus\nThis first SSCT Symposium is an invitation to interrogate and critique the present formulation and reality of ‘environmental’ crisis to propose alternative ideas\, views and paradigms that contest the capitalist\, colonial and patriarchal order that produces and reproduces the crisis. While scientists are demonstrating how the environmental crisis is precipitating the end\, it is up to us\, critical social scientists to move beyond our own limitations\, beyond the confines of disciplinary insularity towards a collective discussion about what kind of political\, social\, cultural and economic relations are contributing to the crisis and explore unseen possibilities.CALL FOR PAPERS\nCALL FOR PAPERS will be out mid-February on the SWDTP and the SSCT websites. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind Out More and Register to Attend Here
