Description
This episode is focused on cooperation among universities. This kind of cooperation, fostered by programs and funds called “cooperation North-South” or “triangular cooperation”, sits on a number of unspoken colonial dynamics that Carla will start unpacking through her interview. The guests of this episode are three researchers: Adriana Moreno Cely, Kewan Mertens and Viola Nyakato. Through the story of how they personally met and decided to have open-ended transformative dialogues to iteratively unveil coloniality in their life and work, the 3 researchers share with us their decolonial practices and the methodology they are developing to tackle their own coloniality.
