The Development Research School, which consists of Uppsala University, Lund University, Gothenburg University and the University of Ghana, opened a new doctoral course.
This course is situated in the debates around decolonization in the contemporary global context and addresses various aspects of power and justice in development. The course is divided into two parts. It starts by providing a theoretical and conceptual overview of political, economic, and discursive dimensions of power and relates these to development and (de)coloniality. The second part attends to the calls for decolonizing development policy and practice, including the decolonization of the discipline of development studies with a focus on debates around climate justice from a decolonial perspective.
The course will be held entirely online.
