Apr 9, 2019–Apr 9, 2019 from 5:00pm–6:30pm
In this conversation between Thenmozhi Soundararajan (Equality Labs), Anasuya Sengupta (Whose Knowledge?), and Lilly Irani (UC San Diego Communication), we will explore notions and practices of decolonising knowledge, specifically in centering the knowledges of marginalised communities online. Marking April as Dalit History Month, Thenmozhi will define and locate debrahminization, and detail debrahminizing processes undertaken by the Dalit Bahujan communities in India and the United States. Anasuya will offer a framework of allyship and solidarity practices that supports this work and other forms, on Wikipedia, in oral archives, and beyond. Lilly will facilitate a discussion between them that looks at the political and emotional economies of these battles against epistemic injustice, and invite the audience to think seriously about our individual and collective actions towards epistemic justice. This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
