Decolonization of Knowledge

Decolonization of Knowledge involves recognizing and challenging the dominance of Western ways of understanding the world, history, and culture. It aims to value and include indigenous, local, and marginalized perspectives that have been overlooked or suppressed by imperial and colonial histories. This process seeks to create a more inclusive, diverse, and equitable way of producing and sharing knowledge, allowing different ways of knowing to coexist and enrich our understanding of the world. It is about questioning assumptions, power dynamics, and promoting respect for diverse cultural insights.
