SUMMARY:Bristol Conversations in Education - Decolonising education for sus
 tainable futures (UNESCO Chair seminar series)
DESCRIPTION:FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE: DECOLONISING EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE
  FUTURES\nThis is a series of three online seminars - please register for 
 each one separately via the links below and read through the confirmation 
 email for details of how to attend\nThis event is part of the School of Ed
 ucation's Bristol Conversations in Education research seminar series. Thes
 e seminars are free and open to the public.\nYou are invited to a series o
 f events on the topic of decolonising education for sustainable futures. T
 he aim of this series is to consider how ideas about the future of educati
 on can benefit from current efforts to decolonise education. \nCo-hosted 
 by the UNESCO Chair on Inclusive and Quality Education for All\, with the 
 Centre for International Research in Education\, EdJAM - Education\, Justi
 ce and Memory Network and Educational Futures Network\, School of Educatio
 n\, University of Bristol.\nThe idea of sustainable futures lies at the he
 art of UNESCO’s Futures of Education initiative which aims to reimagine 
 how knowledge and learning can shape the future of humanity and the planet
  by equipping learners with diverse ways of being and knowing. Yet much of
  the knowledge\, values and skills that we are expected to learn in formal
  education systems have been Eurocentric in nature. That is to say that th
 ey draw primarily on Western frameworks and histories\, excluding other wa
 ys of conceiving the natural and social world. Protests including those le
 d by the Black Lives Matter\, Rhodes Must Fall\, Indigenous and other anti
 -colonial\, anti-racist social movements have called for education to be d
 ecolonised and for diverse knowledge systems to be the basis for realising
  equitable and sustainable futures. These demands have become accentuated 
 in the current crisis. This series is about the importance of recognising 
 epistemic justice as a condition for realising social and environmental ju
 stice in and through education and training.\nThe following overarching qu
 estions will guide discussions:\n\n	In what ways are agendas for decolonis
 ing education and sustainable futures connected? What are the tensions? Wh
 at does decolonising education for sustainable futures involve? How should
  it be conceived and enacted?\n	What are the roles and responsibilities of
  educational organisations/institutions\, individuals and civil society st
 akeholders in decolonising education?\n	What forms of repair and reconstru
 ction are required for sustainable futures of education? What are the poss
 ibilities for ‘reparative’ justice in and through education\, given ed
 ucation’s enduring complicity with coloniality and environmental injusti
 ce?\n\nA series of three 1.5 hour online seminars will be convened to addr
 ess these overarching questions. Using an open\, roundtable approach\, the
  seminars aim to bring together policy\, practitioner and academic communi
 ties and will include a panel of speakers with  plenty of time for audien
 ce participation in the spirit of dialogue.\nFrom theory to practice: deco
 lonising education for sustainable futures\n17 February\, 12-13:30 (GMT)\n
 Convenors: Yvette Hutchinson (British Council/ United Kingdom Forum for In
