Social and Political Thought on Decolonization – Toronto panel
The Deets:
Monday April 15, 2013
1:00 pm
OISE – Room 5-170
Toronto, ON
The Call Out:
Fwd:
While academy is often based on ongoing debate, community organizers often make real-time decisions. We propose to disrupt this difference. Ahead of time, panelists will share with each other a piece that embodies their idea of decolonization (quote, poem, image) and have a real time discussion of what is at stake when we define Decolonization and what needs to be taken into account in that naming process.
Panelists:
