Unlearning: Practicing Hospitality & Dissociation

Thinking about decoloniality can be unsettling, because it requires a review what we have been taught about the world by locating absences and silences, encountering lies and hypocrisy in official histories, and learning unexpected vocabularies for experiences and practices that are not named in modernism/coloniality. It might require a pause, time to sit with new and old ideas, to sort where we have colluded with not knowing and not seeing, time for reflection and dialogues to decide what path belongs to us now. It could involve leaving familiar thought territories and entering surprising, exciting, disorienting, or alarming landscapes of voice and responsibility.
