SUMMARY:Bristol Conversations in Education - Decolonising education for sus
 tainable futures (UNESCO Chair seminar series)
DESCRIPTION:EDUCATION’S ‘REPARATIVE’ POSSIBILITIES: RESPONSIBILITIES 
 AND RECKONINGS FOR SUSTAINABLE FUTURES\nThis is a series of three online s
 eminars - please register for each one separately via the links below and 
 read through the confirmation email for details of how to attend\nThis eve
 nt is part of the School of Education's Bristol Conversations in Education
  research seminar series. These seminars are free and open to the public.\
 nYou are invited to a series of events on the topic of decolonising educat
 ion for sustainable futures. The aim of this series is to consider how ide
 as about the future of education can benefit from current efforts to decol
 onise education. \nCo-hosted by the UNESCO Chair on Inclusive and Quality
  Education for All\, with the Centre for International Research in Educati
 on\, EdJAM - Education\, Justice and Memory Network and Educational Future
 s Network\, School of Education\, University of Bristol.\nThe idea of sust
 ainable futures lies at the heart of UNESCO’s Futures of Education initi
 ative which aims to reimagine how knowledge and learning can shape the fut
 ure 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 a
 re expected to learn in formal education systems have been Eurocentric in 
 nature. That is to say that they draw primarily on Western frameworks and 
 histories\, excluding other ways of conceiving the natural and social worl
 d. Protests including those led by the Black Lives Matter\, Rhodes Must Fa
 ll\, Indigenous and other anti-colonial\, anti-racist social movements hav
 e called for education to be decolonised and for diverse knowledge systems
  to be the basis for realising equitable and sustainable futures. These de
 mands have become accentuated in the current crisis. This series is about 
 the importance of recognising epistemic justice as a condition for realisi
 ng social and environmental justice in and through education and training.
 \nThe following overarching questions will guide discussions:\n\n	In what 
 ways are agendas for decolonising education and sustainable futures connec
 ted? What are the tensions? What does decolonising education for sustainab
 le futures involve? How should it be conceived and enacted?\n	What are the
  roles and responsibilities of educational organisations/institutions\, in
 dividuals and civil society stakeholders in decolonising education?\n	What
  forms of repair and reconstruction are required for sustainable futures o
 f education? What are the possibilities for ‘reparative’ justice in an
 d through education\, given education’s enduring complicity with colonia
 lity and environmental injustice?\n\nA series of three 1.5 hour online sem
 inars will be convened to address these overarching questions. Using an op
 en\, roundtable approach\, the seminars aim to bring together policy\, pra
 ctitioner and academic communities and will include a panel of speakers wi
 th  plenty of time for audience participation in the spirit of dialogue.\
