DESCRIPTION:All welcome.\n\nThis paper will discuss some of the key chall
 enges and barriers around decolonizing the social sciences. Drawing upon
  insights from a range of critical thinkers across the humanities\, the 
 paper seeks to challenge the reproduction of Eurocentric\, white\, colon
 ial knowledges in favour of a postcolonial approach to the study of mode
 rn society. The paper will demonstrate the way in which a close engageme
 nt with postcolonial thought in the social sciences might be beneficial 
 not only for the discipline itself\, but also for institutions\, student
 s\, and faculties. The paper goes onto suggest that if we are serious ab
 out radically transforming our academic spaces and structures in a bid t
 o move forward with the times\, then post / decolonial thinking may be t
 he key to unlock such change.
