Decolonization Keeps Me Awake at Night
Brandie Macdonald
Colonial systems and colonial harm are not just something of the past; they are active forces in our lives and institutions today. Decolonization is a complex movement that addresses the colonial patterns systemically embedded within our organizational structure, language, policies, culture, and practices. What does implementing decolonization entail? What distinguishes decolonization from indigenizing? Who is accountable?
Please join us for a presentation by Brandie Macdonald, Senior Director of Decolonizing Initiatives at the Museum of Us in San Diego, on Thursday 25 August at 12:30pm EDT. Registration is not required. Just use the following link:
