TORCH

Part of the Decoloniality and its Effects Reading Group

Colin Matthew Room

There is an increasing demand to incorporate the decolonisation approach into academia manifested in the emergence of the decolonial turn. In this event, we will have an interdisciplinary discussion based on the attached readings, which come from anthropology, area studies, and history. We aim to discuss ways in which we conceptualize declonilaity and decolonisation in our fields of studies in order to unpack theories and practices related to decolonization and its effects. The readings list is below. Please, choose what animates you and come to discuss it with us: 1-	Hammoudi, Abdellah. &quot;Decolonizing Anthropology at a Distance Some Thoughts.&quot; HAU Journal of Ethnographic Theory 11.1 (2021): 281-90.
