UBC Connects Masterclass with Gurminder K Bhambra

"Decolonising Social Theory"

About the Speaker:

Gurminder K Bhambra is Professor of Postcolonial and Decolonial Studies at the University of Sussex. She is a Fellow of the British Academy and President of the British Sociological Association (2022-25). She is also co-editor of Decolonising the University (2018) and runs the Global Social Theory site, is editor of Discover Society, and directs the Connected Sociologies Curriculum Project.

About the talk:

The significance of postcolonial and decolonial critique is not simply to add colonialism to our repertoire of topics, but to show how that repertoire must change and be transformed in the light of taking colonialism seriously. What does it mean to ‘decolonise’ a curriculum in which colonialism has been unrecognised?

The class is free and open to the broader UBC community, but participants are asked to register in advance. The Masterclass will be moderated by Sunera Thobani, UBC Department of Asian Studies.
