Unsettling Eurocentrism in the Westernized UniversityPaperback
The westernized university is a site where the production of knowledge is embedded in Eurocentric epistemologies that are posited as objective, disembodied and universal and in which non-Eurocentric knowledges, such as black and indigenous ones, are largely marginalized or dismissed. While this is increasingly being challenged by student activists and some faculty, the westernized university continues to engage in diversity and internationalization initiatives that reproduce structural disadvantages and to work within neoliberal agendas that are incompatible with decolonization.This book draws on decolonial theory to explore the ways in which Eurocentrism in the westernized university is both reproduced and unsettled. Consequently, it is an institution that produces racism, sexism and epistemic violence.
