The Centre for the Study of Conflict, Emotions &amp; Social Justice (CESJ), Bournemouth University, UKandKwame Nkrumah University of Science &amp; Technology (KNUST), Ghana,In Collaboration withWole Soyinka International Cultural Exchange (WSICE) Invites you to the Two-Day Seminar:DEVELOPING A MEDIA DECOLONISATION IMAGINARY: Advancing New Methodologies for Decolonising Media Research, Pedagogy &amp; Practice In the past decades, theories of postcolonialism, decolonisation and de-Westernisation have successfully challenged Western hegemonical systems of knowledge production. Reviewing their literatures in relation to media research exposes noticeable opportunities for advancing the discourse of decolonisation to particularly support well-meant transnational solidarities in research. This can, for instance, help dismantle structures which Smith (2021) Chilisa (2020, 2022), and Mofe-Damijo (2023) maintain, perpetuate dominant Western ways of knowing the so-called “Global South” which marginalise indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies.Thus, with focus on Africa, this two day seminar approaches from two themes: "Africa's journey of decolonisation" and "What is in a name?".The purpose is to explore some ontologies and interpretations of decolonisation from Postcolonialism, Intersectionality, and Africa-diaspora media engagements.
