For more information on how to attend contact us.
Places for the workspaces are primarily reserved for black and other non-white people
DL envisages participants enrolling for the entire duration of the Workspace series. This is because all modules are understood to contribute towards the pluriversal vision at the core of the decolonial project. For this reason, there is a requirement to enrol on the first two modules – “Ending the world” and “Decolonising Pedagogy”.
Currently, we are only able to provide these Workspaces on a weekly basis with a limited number of participants attending each session.
We believe it is important to make the Workspaces accessible to a wide audience, and for this reason most of the sessions – depending on the content – will be recorded and the recordings, presentations and reading suggestions made available via this website.
