SUMMARY:GRiEG Seminar: African Indigenous Ontologies for Decolonial Clima
 te Change Education and Resilience

DESCRIPTION:The presentation will argue that resilience requires epistemi
 c plurality\, to which African Indigenous ontologies and decolonial clim
 ate change education make vital contributions. Colonial legacies across 
 Africa disconnect climate change education from socio-cultural\n realiti
 es and constrain local epistemic agency. Indigenised approaches that cen
 tre Indigenous knowledge\, relational pedagogies and place-based learnin
 g can strengthen climate change literacy and community resilience. Afric
 an philosophies such as Ubuntu and\n Ukama emphasise the interconnectedn
 ess of humans\, non-humans\, ancestors and ecosystems\, valuing spiritua
 lity\, emotion and intergenerational wisdom in responding to climate cha
 nge. Alongside plural climate storylines that challenge dominant discour
 ses\, such\n ontologies can inform decolonial\, participatory and cultur
 ally responsive education that bridges knowledge systems\, addresses une
 qual power relations and advances climate action\, resilience and pluriv
 ersal justice.
