Lecture - Epistemic Blackness: Unlearning Whiteness with Charles Mills’ The Racial Contract
Dr. Olivia Rutazibwa (London School of Economics and Political Science) previously gave a lecture at Studium Generale, titled ‘(Un)learning: knowledge for anti-colonial coexistence’. In this lecture, she specifically discusses unteaching methodological Whiteness in the Social and Human Sciences through the concept of epistemic Blackness. Using Charles W. Mills' The Racial Contract', she provides an illustration of the anti-colonial and anti-racist commitment of epistemic Blackness. Participants are encouraged to read a text by Mills (which will be made available in PDF after registration).
