Brief Description:
Capitalism / Coloniality depends upon the normalization of racialized, hetero-patriarchal, binary ideologies forged in the structural violences of hierarchy that limit access to all that is necessary to create well-being as individuals and as collectives. The way that knowledge is created, the categories and compartmentalizations required divide what is considered knowledge from that which is considered myth, gossip, backwards, worthless, cultural anachronism, etc. implies the devaluation of all knowledge and practice that is not euro-capital-colonial-centric has required decades and generations of indoctrination, violence and dispossession to achieve. This workshop is focused on privileging and strengthening the practices and methods used to create, value, and recognize the experience / knowledge that is created through the lives and histories of people whose expression has been undermined by myriad forms of oppression, negation and gaslighting. We will look at how the persistent relationships among people, territory and non-human others have been devalued in Capitalist / Colonial systems and as such the very existence of all life is in peril. On the other hand, the persistence of relationships as relationality, comunalidad, and non-capitalist economic systems have also been the first-line of resistance, perseverance and creation of other ways of doing and being life. As scholars and activists we have a responsibility to break away from hierarchical structures of knowledge creation and practice while embracing the many forms of knowing and being that are the majority forms of existence. Let us come together in this seven-week workshop to dignify hidden and untold histories while creating futures that embrace flourishing.

By Christiane Kliemann When listening to all the keynotes, panels and sessions, or simply joining the lively discussions between conference participants, there is the notion of an overall agreement that a broader new vision for society and the economy is most urgently needed. However, the elephant in the room is that such vision is almost impossible to shape, if it is to represent the diversi...
