Bassey is an applied linguist and has been in conversation with me for a while. Applied linguistics is a discipline that looks at the interaction between language and social relations. Bassey and I have an ongoing dialogue about how the framework of DTM relates to applied linguistics. He and a colleague of him surprised me by organizing an intensive two day conference with experts from the University of Ghana on Tuesday and Wednesday on DTM and applied linguistics. It as an in-depth discussion on how to decolonize a discipline from the core. I look forward to continue this discussion on DTM in the future at the University of Ghana.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_466\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-466\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sandewhira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Bassey-Antia-and-Sandew-Hira-with-book-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sandewhira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Bassey-Antia-and-Sandew-Hira-with-book-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.sandewhira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Bassey-Antia-and-Sandew-Hira-with-book-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sandewhira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Bassey-Antia-and-Sandew-Hira-with-book-624x832.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.sandewhira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Bassey-Antia-and-Sandew-Hira-with-book.jpg 843w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-466\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bassey Antia from the University of Western Cape with Sandew Hira<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_467\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-467\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sandewhira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/students-applied-linguistics-UWC-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sandewhira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/students-applied-linguistics-UWC-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.sandewhira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/students-applied-linguistics-UWC-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.sandewhira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/students-applied-linguistics-UWC-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.sandewhira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/students-applied-linguistics-UWC-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.sandewhira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/students-applied-linguistics-UWC-624x351.png 624w, https:\/\/www.sandewhira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/students-applied-linguistics-UWC.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-467\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PhD students from Ghana and Cameroon at the mini-conference on applied linguistcs and DTM<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-404\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sandewhira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/poster-uwc-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sandewhira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/poster-uwc-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sandewhira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/poster-uwc-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sandewhira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/poster-uwc-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sandewhira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/poster-uwc-1536x862.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sandewhira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/poster-uwc-624x350.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.sandewhira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/poster-uwc.jpg 1551w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prof. Bassey Antia organized this lecture\u00a0 at the University of Western Cape about DTM.
