Good to finally get to the @IASUG for an evening of decolonising #talesbythefireside with Faisal M Garba and others. But first, the Ghana Dance Ensemble ti remind us that the inclusion of traditional music and dance is itself a form of decolonisation 
Important opening questions from Faisal M Garba...’what does it mean to decolonise knowledge? what decides what constitutes ‘knowledge’? are African scholars in danger of becoming pawns in an new colonising agenda? #talesbythefireside
Decolonisation has different meaning and emphasis in different geo-political contexts. In South Africa much of focus has been on challenging hegemonic and Eurocentric pedagogy. In other contexts focus is more on range of institutions that produce knowledge #talesbythefireside
