Decolonisation and Legal Knowledge

Tue, 28 Mar 2023 10:08:00 GMT

On the 24th of March 2023, the official book launch was held for Decolonisation and Legal Knowledge: Reflections on Power and Possibility. There is a 50% discount code: PODALK23. This discount is available till 30/04/2023. It can only be used on the BUP site: https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/decolonisation-and-legal-knowledge.

This essential book provides an examination of the meanings of decolonisation and explores how this examination can inform teaching, researching, and practising of law. It explores the ways in which the foundations of law are entangled in colonial thought and in its [re]production of ideas of commodification of bodies and space-time. Thus, it is an exploration of the ways in which we can use theories and praxes of decolonisation to produce legal knowledge for flourishing futures.

In this episode, I reflect on how decolonisation has become 'trendy' and is uncritical; its possibility hampered by profound lack of understanding of its urgent necessity.

Decolonisation and Research

Tue, 06 Sep 2022 10:44:11 GMT

In today's episode, I discuss how decolonisation discourse has focused on teaching and ignored research, and how that focus has ignored research's history and present of broken bones and its production of the wretched of the earth.
