Unlearn the Ivory Tower: Decolonizing Minds, Challenging Racism and Sexism in Academia

Online: December 12, 2024, from 13:30 to 15:00

Our present is characterized by colonial structures and the various forms of oppression that support them. But what
is systemic oppression and how does it affect the working context? Josephine Apraku explores these questions in an
impulse followed by self-reflection.
