What does it mean? Exploring terms and methodologies

“Decolonialization” is a widespread term that is used in a variety of contexts. The aim of this page is to present a number of resources that provide background information on what is meant by decolonization in the context of research and academic exchange, as well as related concepts such as postcolonialism.

During the conference on May 5th we asked the participants what they associate with the term decolonizing. Their associations are synthesized in the following word cloud.
