The chapters in this book highlight the possibilities and
complexities of putting decolonial theory to work in higher
education in Northern and Southern contexts across the globe. This
book looks at decolonial work as praxis involving transformation at
a range of levels from theoretical development, national policy,
institutional policy and culture, academic discipline, programme,
course, classroom, student and the self. Our authors argue that
praxis in their contexts includes working at institutional level to
undo the historical power of ‘coloniality’ in universities in
the metropoles, introducing Indigenous knowledges into curricula
and undoing the effects of ‘coloniality’ in embodiment,
temporality and whiteness. We, as editors, argue for the need for
transformation of the self as well as structures, and highlight
qualities such as reflexivity on our own entanglements with
coloniality, and why they occur, in this undoing. The approach
offered in this book emphasises the connection between significant
personal change as a pre-condition and an epistemological process
to connect critical decolonial theory and our teaching practice.
The book was originally published as a special issue of the journal
Teaching in Higher Education.
