The Decolonising Education in Emergencies reading group aims to examine issues of power, knowledge and justice as they relate to the intersections of education, humanitarianism and decoloniality. The group will meet online for four consecutive weeks in February and is open to educators, academic researchers and aid practitioners through advance registration. Sessions will be facilitated collaboratively by members of the organising institutions, and will include researchers from Cambridge and Seoul National University.
Unfortunately, registration for this group is now closed.
