Launching Seminar on Decolonizing Research Methodologies
The Launching Seminar of the Research School Programme Decolonizing Research Methodologies aimed to bring together participants from the six partner universities (UNB, Burkina Faso; ISH, Mali; SORRECE, Tanzania; SLU, Sweden; SU, Sweden; and UU, Sweden), totalling participants from five African countries. The Seminar cosisted of 15 days of intense course on decolonization in practice and on fieldwork methodology.
This first year joint activity was exploratory in the sense that PhD-students, postdocs, and faculty engaged in a training and learning process that aims to develop courses and curricula of the programme’s coming field courses. Seminar, lectures, round-tables, workshops, walk-and-talks, were all combined with fieldwork in four Gotlandic parishes: Burgsvik, Klintehamn, Östergarn, and Fårösund. The Launching Seminar Programme is available here
Next year we will go to Tanzania as the second destination country of this truly traveling seminar.
