Gender Talk von Rina Allura
A Critical Reflection of Knowledge and its Liberation
Alois-Wagner-Saal
Sensengasse 3, 1090 Wien
Vortrag
This critical discussion questions the politics of knowledge by problematizing intersectional identity markers within areas such as academia and learning spaces. It will raise questions such as: Who do we learn from? What do we learn? And how can we begin to unlearn through decolonization and liberation processes? The speaker will provide theoretical insights on coloniality while reflecting on her own positionality as a Black Indigenous Woman of Colour (BIWOC) who has been raised, educated and worked both in the Global North and South. She will share insights from her personal and professional experiences and assert how the re-centering and re-claiming of knowledge is an ongoing effort towards structural transformation.
