This event marks the beginning of a monthly series emerging from a set of conversations that have become increasingly difficult to sustain within academic settings.
As PhD researchers committed to the ethical and scholarly engagements with these theories and lifeworlds, KEEJ's experiences their limited presence within the institution as a significant gap. KEEJ therefore seek to extend and continue these conversations beyond the institution, creating spaces where they can develop through exchange with a wider range of scholars, artists, activists and students.
The series aims to create and strengthen spaces for collaboration, exchange and collective knowledge cultivation across institutional, disciplinary and epistemic boundaries.
By bringing together individuals and collectives whose perspectives and practices often remain marginalized within Western and specifically Dutch academic contexts, KEEJ hopes to foster sustained dialogue, build connections, and reconnect to forms of knowledge and inquiry that are too often excluded from academic discourse.”
What is the Knowledge, Education and Epistemic Justice collective?
KEEJ is a PhD-led research collective at the International Institute of Social Studies that critically engages with coloniality and its enduring effects on knowledge, justice and power.
In conversation with decolonial, Black radical and anti-colonial traditions, we seek to reimagine and remake theorizing and praxis.
