The question “How to decolonize higher education?” starts with the question “What is colonization of higher education?”. A university is a center of the production and dissemination of knowledge. The colonization of higher education is about the colonization of the production and dissemination of knowledge.<\/p>\n
This lecture examines how the production of knowledge has been colonized and how to decolonize it. It discusses the differences between Eurocentric knowledge production and knowledge production from other civilizations. It offers a fundamental critique of Eurocentricism and an alternative system of knowledge production.<\/p>\n
The alternative for Eurocentrism is the reconstruction of the disciplines based on the concept of Decolonizing The Mind (DTM). DTM is about taking a look at the relevance of the ideas from other civilizations and the wider implications for higher education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
