***********************************
This event is an invitation for us to be in conversation about Anti-caste and Anti-fascist Pedagogies and to think through what Debrahminising and Decolonising Education mean and entail. We wish to create a space where we can hear from brilliant educators about the work they have been doing in their many classrooms (within and beyond institutions) and speak to the complexities, tensions, radical possibilities, and futures that shape our pursuit of liberatory educational futures.
We are delighted to have with us Vijeta Vj and Asim Siddiqui with us!
