Abstract on the title: Advancing Decolonial and Afrocentric Education, research, and Practice.
Andiswa Pamella Mdlankomo: University of Fort Hare ([email protected]), with Hloniphile Khuzwayo: the University of Free State ([email protected]
Abstract: Critical frameworks that aim to counter the predominately Eurocentric viewpoints in academia and society include decolonial and Afrocentric education, research, and practice. This abstract will make the case for expanding these frameworks through a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates numerous scientific disciplines, including literature, history, sociology, anthropology, and psychology. The decolonial perspective aims to undermine colonial systems of privilege and power that still influence how knowledge is produced and disseminated. Afrocentricity, on the other hand, emphasizes African-centered perspectives and experiences while analyzing societal issues. Together, these concepts support social justice, equity, and inclusion while providing a potent criticism of neocolonialism, racism, and patriarchy. In order to build more inclusive and culturally sensitive environments, this abstract will stress the significance of infusing decolonial and Afrocentric viewpoints into educational curricula, research methodology, and professional practices.
Keywords: Afrocentric education, Eurocentric, decolonial, knowledge
