Academia

Academia plays a central role in shaping knowledge, yet it has historically privileged Western perspectives while excluding Indigenous, local, and marginalized ways of knowing. The decolonization movement in academia calls for rethinking whose knowledge is valued, diversifying curricula, and challenging the structural inequalities embedded in research practices and institutions. It seeks to transform academia into a space that supports epistemic justice and amplifies voices that have long been silenced.

This list is ever-evolving, and will be continuously updated.
