From cambalach at autoproduzioni.net Tue Apr 7 08:55:30 2026 From: cambalach at autoproduzioni.net (Erin Araujo) Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2026 15:55:30 +0700 Subject: [Cc-communications] 3 Spaces Left- Online Workshop on Collectively Situated Knowledge Beginning in April Message-ID: <576BE16D-DA63-4845-8111-6B7999533D55@autoproduzioni.net> Dear Community and Colleagues, I?m writing to share that we have 3 spots left in our upcoming workshop. We are living through a moment in which knowledge itself is under attack. The defunding of research, the silencing of dissent in academia, the ongoing erasure of indigenous and majority world epistemologies; all of this makes the question of how we produce knowledge not just methodological, but political and urgent.

May 5th, 2026 | In English Mondays and Tuesdays, 8:00?10:00 Mexico City / 15:00?17:00 UK / 16:00?18:00 CET / 19:30?21:30 IST This workshop focuses on the practice of decolonial / anti-colonial research.
