Decolonising Knowledge: What is Decolonisation? | Rolando Vázquez Melken 

An introduction to the decolonisation of knowledge, with dr. Rolando Vázquez Melken, associate professor of Sociology at the University College Roosevelt of Utrecht University and co-founder of the Decolonial Summer School.
SG TU Delft presents: the Decolonising Knowledge series
This series of events explores the legacy of colonial power structures in society. Decolonisation, roughly put, is a social movement and academic project that seeks to empower knowledge, cultures, and peoples marginalized by the legacy of colonialism and its power structures. This movement also reflects critically on the historical role of universities and Western knowledge production in relation to colonialism. It encompasses issues of race, gender, land ownership, ways of knowing, reparations, resource extraction, rights and representation, and more.
The program will consist of a core of lecture series introducing the decolonial perspective and its application. There will also be numerous satellite events with master classes, a film night, and discussion groups.
