SUMMARY:African Studies Global Virtual Forum: Decoloniality and Southern Epistem
ologies – Sipho Seepe
DESCRIPTION:\nThe African Studies Global Virtual Forum 2023– 24\, led by
Sinfree Makoni\, seeks to decenter hegemonic epistemologies and to deco
lonize the Western canon to facilitate other ways/waves of knowing. Thro
ugh a series of online conversations\, participants in the forum will ch
allenge the notion of the “universal truth” and discuss how the only tru
th that is universal is the truth of complexity. To decolonize knowledge
\, epistemic perspectives need to be pluralistic in ontologies\, cosmolo
gies\, and insights\, and the emergence of Epistemologies of the South i
s one such response to the decolonial turn.\n\nJoining us from around th
e world\, our speakers will discuss the multiple approaches taken in the
humanities and social science scholarship to decolonize knowledges by p
aying attention to complexities and heterogeneities in disciplinary form
ations.\n\nFor more details: https://events.la.psu.edu/event/african-stu
