decolonizationforum.org


The Decolonization Forum 2026 invites submissions of academic papers under its main theme, Decolonizing Knowledge Production and Circulation.
In a world where global asymmetries and epistemic injustice have become unmistakably visible, critical reflection on knowledge hierarchies has become increasingly urgent. The Decolonization Forum 2026: Decolonizing Knowledge Production and Circulation aims to bring together scholars, researchers, and intellectuals from around the world to critically examine dominant paradigms, share alternative frameworks rooted in local and indigenous knowledge, and envision decolonial futures across disciplines.
The two-day event will feature a keynote speech, plenary sessions, and parallel sessions along with an interactive "Decolonization Talks" series. By combining plenary and thematic formats, the programme seeks to foster both in-depth scholarly debate and cross-disciplinary exchange.
The plenary sessions at the forum will address four interrelated thematic areas:
Alongside these plenary sessions, the forum will host six parallel academic sessions. Scholars are invited to submit abstracts for these sessions on a broader range of related topics.
