A genealogy of the decolonial turn

The Faculty of Humanities at Wits and the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) will host this public lecture.

ASSAf Distinguished Visiting Scholar, Professor Nelson Maldonado-Torres will deliver this lecture. Maldonado-Torres traces a genealogy of ‘The Decolonial Turn,’ in a set of ongoing reflections that bear the intention of decoloniality in the global south. This conversation is not one that views the project of decoloniality particularly spoken at a universities and the epistemological baggage of projects of transformation as ‘inclusion’, but seeks a language of transformation that directly confronts ongoing material, symbolic and epistemic dispossessions.
