This seminar aims to will discuss multiple epistemologies, entanglements and diverse embodied perspectives as challenging Euro/Western-centric models of knowledge, science, aesthetics and politics.

It seeks to demonstrate what decoloniality looks like in diverse research fields in the humanities and social sciences and in what ways the decolonial approach and agenda offers new ways of looking – and new methods for engaging with – contemporary form of coloniality.  What does such decolonial agendas do to the positionality and entanglement of various voices and issues  across the spaces between the global and the local or the particular and the universal?
