Decolonising political thought: a reconsideration of political thinkers
With Manjeet Ramgotra
A two-day workshop with invited participants presenting papers on different aspects of the decolonisation of political thought. The ultimate aim is to use the workshop to establish a global network of scholars committed to decolonising political thought. The project is by its nature interdisciplinary, as both our intended participants and the thinkers they will discuss come from a range of disciplinary backgrounds.
