Free University Brighton and the BRIDGES initiative present a practical workshop looking at what it might mean to decolonise education.
6-8 pm – Free Entry – there will be food provided free (we know it’s dinner time!) – FREE ENTRY BUT PLEASE REGISTER BELOW SO WE KNOW NUMBERS!
The BRIDGES consortium has designed the Course “Building Solidarities – Feminist and Anti-racist Practices in Higher Education”, in collaboration with academics and activists from Higher Education institutions and Civil Society Organisations involved in anti-racist and feminist struggles. Inspired by Participatory Action Research methodology, the Course delves into concepts and activities for bringing anti-racist and feminist pedagogies into the classroom.
Some of the questions that inspire the content of the course are: Is it possible to decolonize education? How can we diversify the production and reproduction of knowledge? How to transform the university and other learning spaces to dismantle structural racism? How to struggle against discrimination within the university from a critical, feminist and intersectional perspective? Which are the everyday practices and mechanisms that, in classrooms, reproduce the social inequalities that also occur outside of them? What pedagogical tools and strategies can we use to produce radical interventions within these spaces?
This ‘practical workshop’ will introduce the BRIDGES course to both Higher Education teachers and civil society practitioners, to enable a multiplicity of actors to adopt it and to adapt it according to their context and needs.
The course materials are open access and available at: https://buildingbridges.space/
