Webinar: Decolonial Feminist Ethics of Care – Recording Out Now!

Webinar Abstract

This webinar, hosted by the Institute for Social and Health Sciences, University of South Africa and the Decolonising Psychology Division of the Psychology Society of South Africa, is based on a panel discussion with scholars located nationally and globally on the relevance of decolonial feminism in pushing back against the colonial academy. It will highlight the ways in which a decolonial feminist ethics of care has become crucial for liberatory scholarship. Moreover, it will feature the ways in which voice, agency and liberation constitute the ubuntu-centric practices of decolonial feminist scholarship. The webinar focus is aligned with the programmatic work of restorative justice against settler-colonialism. To this extent, we have invited colleagues from institutions based in the Global North and Global South to discuss how the objectives of a decolonial feminist ethics of care can reimagine decolonising scholarship. The panellists work in different disciplines with similar objectives of decolonising the curriculum.

Webinar Abstract

The speakers, in their respective areas of expertise, engage the questions of where to for African Psychologies, elaborating on some of its key challenges and transformative possibilities.

Exploring notions of meritocracy and its challenges for diversity in
professional practice, considering the histories of resistance and activism in Africa and current practices of pathologizing that deploy psychological language to undermine women’s resistance in Africa against oppression, interrogating new directions of afro-centric psychology, and posing critical pedagogical questions of how we teach an African Psychology curriculum that grapples with our racial histories, the webinar seeks to move the current debates on African Psychology a step further by opening up even more urgent questions about how we do psychology, what it means to engage questions of interiority that are connected to our freedoms and imaginations of what it means to be African and to practice psychology of/from/for Africa.

If so, we encourage you to submit a proposal for a community project that is designed to improve mental health among a specific group within the community. We are seeking projects that embody the fundamental values and principles of Community Psychology rather than simple outreach programs.
