Decolonizing higher education

How did higher education participate in colonialism, and how can we decolonize academia?

This week the Forum is proud to host Sharon Stein, assistant professor of higher education at the University of British Columbia, visiting professor with the Chair for Critical Studies in Higher Education Transformation at Nelson Mandela University, and author of the new book Unsettling the University: Confronting the Colonial Foundations of US Higher Education.

The Future Trends Forum is a weekly discussion event created and hosted by Bryan Alexander. Since 2016 we have addressed the most powerful forces of change in academia. Each week, this video chat brings together practitioners in the field to share their most recent work and experience in education and technology. The intent of the Forum: to advance the discussion around the pressing issues at the crossroads of education and technology.
