The decolonization of education and research in Belarus and Ukraine:theoretical challenges and practical tasks
Abstrakt
The full-scale war launched by Russia against Ukraine in 2022 and supported by the Lukashenko regime has has focused attention on the urgency of decolonization as a process of overcoming the structural, political, and cultural subjugation by the "empire." This conference aims to answer the question: How exactly is decolonization to be achieved in education and in humanistic and social science research both in today's conditions and after the end of the war? Decolonization as a practical task unites Belarusians and Ukrainians in our aspirations for national independence. In this connection, a separate practical objective of the conference is the consideration of a common politics of decolonization and the creation of a network for continued promotion of decolonization in Belarusian and Ukrainian research, considered in national, regional, and global perspectives.
