HMD 416 DECOLONIZING SELF AND CULTURE
This course examines how we can validate and recenter the experiences, knowledges, and self-narratives of people from marginalized groups in the Global North and those who live in previously colonized countries, and groups that continue to experience the historical traumas of ongoing settler colonialism, racism, slavery, and migration. The course focuses on readings that illuminate how colonialism and coloniality shapes local conceptions of selfhood, family, culture, globalization, and indigenous retrieval of knowledge. Decolonial perspectives from psychology, human development, and education will be examined.
