Decolonial theory provides opportunities to see the world through a distinctively global ethical lens – enabling the rejection of universality in favour of ‘pluriversality’ and inter-cultural dialogues.
A selection of key readings that contributors to the Decolonial Dialogues site have found particularly helpful when devising and managing research projects in accordance with these principles are listed below. It is hoped that this selection will encourage future conversations and exchanges of information about ethical approaches to knowledge production, research scholarship, and campaign activities.
