Decolonisation: shaping and re-shaping of reality

This conference aims to open up questions and provide a platform for critical analysis concerning the underlying assumptions, ideologies, narratives, social structures etc. that are rooted in white colonialism, which have shaped (and continue to shape) reality for a multitude of people. The aim is to re-tell stories where white heterosexual upper-class men are no longer the protagonists, and to think critically about ways to re-shape our present reality in efforts towards decolonisation.

The event is hosted by King's College London Minorities and Philosophy Society. We are a chapter of the wider international initiative Minorities and Philosophy, which aims to diversify the philosophical canon and challenge the dominant perspectives on different topics in academic philosophy. We aim to create real opportunities for a wider range of people, in particular those who have been gravely underrepresented in the discipline, to have their voices heard and taken seriously. The exclusion of marginalised groups from academic philosophy and the wider social contexts is an issue of equality and results in inaccurate theories which do not represent the reality we live in.
