Creating space for southern narratives on teaching and learning  \;

In the postcolonial world of the 21st century\, fundamental and urgent questions about the nature of knowledge have profound ramifications for the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). Whilst attempts have been made to internationalise the curriculum in many countries around the world since as far back as the 1990s\, ther e have been more recent calls to decolonise higher education curricula. T his involves engaging in innovative curriculum reform that addresses chal lenging questions such as the following:\;

Whilst these questions are particularl y urgent in the global South\, especially in countries such as South Afri ca in the wake of the #Rhodes-Must-Fall and #Fees-Must-Fall campaigns\, t hey are also significant in the global North. The global North continues to occupy a dominant position in the production of knowledge. If universi ties are to truly democratise the creation of knowledge and address the c omplex intertwined environmental\, health and social problems of the 21st century\, they will be expected to access all the knowledge s ystems of the world. These ideas above form the starting point of this co nference\, which is intended to provide academics with theoretically grou nded and practical strategies to address current important pedagogical de bates on decolonisation

Invited speakers will incl ude Boaventura de Sousa Santos (University of Coimbra\, University of Wis consin-Madison) and Catherine Manathunga (University of the Sunshine Coas t).
