Decolonising our Institutions - A Conversation with Prof. Jonathan Jansen
Manage episode 405683444 series 3256426
How are the knowledge and skills that we choose to teach or not teach implicated in the power structures and political histories of the places in which we live?
Professor Jonathan Jansen (https://www.jonathanjansen.org/ ) is Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. He is currently President of the South African Academy of Science and the Knight-Hennessey Fellow at Stanford University (2020).
In his work, Professor Jansen explores how we keep radical ideas alive in bureaucratic structures. Is there a destination we arrive at called a decolonised curriculum or is it an ongoing process of meeting power structures and institutionalised biases? What's the role of language in the decolonising process if we can't even communicate with each other? What is the role of education in constructing national identities in ways that are inclusive of the diversity of people in most communities?
