    I needed to hear it said LOUDLY!!! I’ve been saying this for a while. The way to decolonize is not to borrow your colleagues reading list that has a few marginalised scholars. You have to do the necessary critical thinking yourself, and be reflexive about yourself, your own rolehttps://twitter.com/zaranosaur/status/1152913323995869184 …

    I don’t know who needs to hear this right now, but the way to “decolonize” a syllabus is not by adding 2-3 marginalised scholars to it. Why not try, idk, encouraging critical inquiry by giving readings on the historical role of your field in colonialism and imperialism?

        2) in reproducing structural inequalities in higher education - have you stopped to think why YOU are teaching a course on which you know nothing while eminently qualified knowledgeable marginalised scholars are drawing unemployment benefits? And what are your motives? Because

        3) If your motives are to enhance your cv or promotion prospects, then you need to question why you’re engaged in decoloniality. And have you thought about how your decisions about which particular marginalised scholars you choose reinforces other marginalisations?

        Borrow reading list that one does not do the work of reading & understandibg themselves to help students understand it. lt's also about doing the work of decolonising your own mind as a lecturer.

        And it involves total commitment to removing institutional racism...but thats a step too far as it possibly involves personal sacrifices

        It's also a product of coloniality that this message will be better received, believed and internalized when it comes from White academics. But that shows how much we need true allies amongst White academics who use their privilege to do this work.
