The European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes (EADI) recently published a call for applications for their ‘’Decolonising Knowledge for Development’’ project.
EADI is inviting applicants who would like to participate ‘’ in a storytelling project on decolonising knowledge that aims to capture the remarkable journeys, experiences, and transformative moments of our members (individuals and institutions) within EADI.’’ The scope of the stories is quite large and can vary greatly: ‘’ be moments when you first realised the need to think about how we value and teach development knowledge, or you supported colleagues or students in getting recognition, or you transformed the teaching or research relationships in a project you were working on or brought in exciting new thinkers to a seminar series or reading list. Your (personal) stories will help to inspire and showcase decolonisation of knowledge in many ways.
