A conference convened by Bucknell’s Griot Institute for the Study of Black Lives and Cultures on Decolonial Education and Liberatory Learning has been organized to bring together a group of scholars, artists, and practitioners at all stages of career and life who are interested in the intersections of these particular subjects in Africa and its Diasporas historically over the longue durée or in the contemporary world. One important aim is to facilitate a dialogue across the various academic and professional disciplines through a collection of panels, roundtables and performances that discuss participants’ scholarship, essays, artistic creations, lesson plans, activist work, or other experimental genres on decoloniality, education, liberation, and/or learning.
