Decolonisation (Im)possible: Can Rhetorical Justice Become Material?

Universities increasingly speak the language of decolonisation, but has anything fundamentally changed? Who controls the production of knowledge, whose voices count, and who benefits from research?

Join us for an interactive workshop exploring the gap between rhetorical commitments to decolonisation and the material realities of academic research. Together, we will examine inequalities of power within international and local research partnerships and consider what genuinely equitable research practices might look like.

Date: Tuesday 27 October 2026
Time: 11:00 am – 3:00 pm
Venue: VC Faculty Lounge, LUMS

Convenors:
Dr Fatima Khan, Reader in Sociology, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
Dr Rabia Kamal, LUMS
