Decolonization: A New Paradigm for the Theory of Global Justice

Back to events
Date(s)
May 31, 2018 - June 1, 2018
Location
Newark Room, Queen's University Belfast
Time
09:30 - 18:00

International Workshop

Aims of the Workshop

This conference is motivated by the following thought: that much of the presumptively progressive, and undoubtedly well-meaning, contemporary academic work on global justice is characterised by a crippling failure to make the critical connections between theory and practice that are required if such work is to contribute to the struggle for human freedom.  In this research agenda it will be explored with a view to replacing the abstract, disengaged analyses that have dominated academic debates on global justice within political theory, with a vibrant, critically engaged set of interdisciplinary inquiries that dig under the surface of contemporary social and global orders to expose the pervasiveness of (neo-)colonialism. We want to imagine an alternative, truly decolonized world in which freedom for all can best be realised.
