The Capacity to Decolonise: Building Futures Literacy in Africa
The Capacity to Decolonise ( “C2D”) is a proposition by an international team from the University of Witwatersrand (South Africa) to undertake a large, multi-year action research programme on the role of “futures literacy” as a core capability to expanding imagination, choice and agency, starting in Africa.
Join the C2D inception team for an introduction to the proposed programme, how these concepts are being used in the context of decolonisation, and a conversation about what it might mean for the academy / your work.
