Workshop announcement

Let’s talk about (de)colonial learning

Interested in teaching and learning in higher education? This workshop will provide you with an introduction to perspectives that allow you to critically think about power dynamics and assumptions in knowledge creation and learning. It will focus on how we can decolonialize our (digital) classroom.

The workshop is part of the digilego project which seeks to enhance teaching capacity of HE teachers in geography and environmental sciences through training in digital and blended methods delivery and the co-creation of high quality open educational resources. The strategic partnership between Trier University, the University of Hull, the National University of Ireland Galway and the Luxembourg Institute for Socioeconomic Research is co-funded by the EU. The workshop is directed at higher education teaching staff and those with teaching aspirations. It will feature insights from guest speakers Dr Epifania Amoo-Adare and Dr Eva Bischoff and provide opportunity for discussions and exchange with colleagues across disciplines and partner institutions.
