Keynote Lectures on Decolonizing Research
IHE Delft has committed itself to knowledge pluralism and interrogating our approaches to research and teaching from a decolonial lens. As part of this, we are hosting a PhD course for scholars of the SENSE Network and other universities in the Netherlands, which aims to inspire them to explore and engage with decolonial and postcolonial approaches to their PhD research. This Friday 1 December, on the closing day of the course, we are offering two public keynote lectures. We invite all staff members to attend these lectures and engage in the discussions that follow.
