What is...Decolonising Knowledge in IR?

What is...Decolonising Knowledge in IR?

Episode 16
Länge: 43:25
Decolonising knowledge in academia is understood as the process through which we rethink and reshape both research and our curricula that have traditionally maintained a Eurocentric, colonial lens. Considering that decolonisation goes further and deeper, challenging institutional hierarchies that dominate the monopoly of knowledge, how then can contemporary racialised disadvantages that are rooted within wider historical processes of colonialism be translated into collective reflection and action? In particular, what are the challenges for teaching IR given its historical embeddedness in former colonial powers, especially the US?
Meera Sabaratnam (SOAS University of London), lecturer in international relations, has not only been working on issues of decolonisation, Eurocentrism, race and methodology in IR for many years, but has been proactive in shaping the decolonisation movement in academia. In conversation with Felix Berenskötter (SOAS University of London), Meera Sabaratnam talks about her personal experiences and her own engagement, the role of reflexivity, as well as prevailing obstacles to decolonising knowledge. In this episode, we learn that the aim is not to rewrite history, but to better understand and teach its impact on contemporary normative thinking through a more critical account of the past.

Beschreibung

Voices: The EISA Podcast is the official broadcast of EISA, the European International Studies Association. This space for cutting-edge research in the discipline of International Relations is the audible companion to EISA. Apart from our flagship conference, the EISA organises a range of innovative events and activities for scholars and students working in the field of International Studies. This podcast sets the stage for deeper insights into award-winning papers, books and theses, as much as it provides a room for the critical engagement with key concepts in political and sociological thought. Voices: The EISA Podcast traces how these concepts have been taken up in the discipline of IR. It interrogates their emergence, their gendered and racialized omissions, and their relevance to current debates and analyses. Through our erudite interview guests, a wide range of critical reading, and reflections on our everyday experiences, Voices: The EISA Podcast helps to think through core IR concepts.
