SUMMARY:A Political Epistemology of International Development

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: David Ludwig (Wageningen)\n\nThe colonial myth of a 
 “civilizing mission” is built on imagining the colonized as ignorant and
  in need of education by colonial knowledge holders. Even after the coll
 apse of European empires\, international development maintained many of 
 these epistemic hierarchies\, treating local communities as passive bene
 ficiaries of externally produced scientific knowledge. “Participatory\,”
  “community-driven\,” “co-creation\,” “transdisciplinary\,” and “multi-s
 takeholder” approaches have aimed to overcome these hierarchies in inter
 national development by embracing epistemic diversity. While these appro
 aches promise more equal forms of dialogue and knowledge co-production\,
  they often fail to deliver on these promises in development practice. A
 iming to understand the complex dynamics of knowledge production in inte
 rnational development\, this talk outlines a program of political episte
 mology. \n\nDavid Ludwig is an associate professor at Wageningen Univers
 ity in the Netherlands where he is also the PI of the “Global Epistemolo
 gies and Ontologies” (GEOS) project. As a philosopher of science and tra
 nsdisciplinary researcher\, his work focuses on knowledge co-production 
 between scientists and local communities in Latin America and West Afric
 a.
