About the organisers:

The EADI Working Group on Post-/Decolonial Perspectives on Development aims to explore and establish spaces for postcoloniality within development studies that:
• enable the acknowledgement of multiple knowledges
• seek strategies for decolonizing development knowledge
• explore the relation of Postcolonialism and Development policy
• discuss Postcolonial Perspectives on the SDGs
The group is not limited to post- and decolonial perspectives, but welcomes collaborators working on other related theoretical approaches.

Convivial Thinking is an open group of people from around the world interested in and working on all issues connected with postcolonial/decolonial theory and practice. The group evolved from the EADI Working Group on Post-/Decolonial Perspectives on Development and Convivial Thinking.
