Decolonial Pedagogies Applied to Language(s) Teaching

Led by Dr Macarena Jimenez, this stream of research aims to incorporate critical pedagogy and decolonial critique into language(s) education in order to question Eurocentric norms and language ideologies that have been naturalised as common-sense arguments by coloniality. It also seeks to critically reflect on the intersectional nature of structural inequality and, ultimately, delink ourselves from Western knowledge as the only possible way of thinking and being.
