I firmly believe that learning neither begins nor ends in the classroom and encourage my students to share this vision. 

​

In line with my commitment to decolonial critique, I put great emphasis on decolonizing the classroom. By this I mean a critical, anti-imperialist evaluation of how knowledges are/have been produced, disseminated and are valued within mainstream academia. Decolonizing the classroom thereby moves beyond mere diversification of course readings, contents or guest lecturers. Instead, classes and courses are designed to provide students with the tools to critically interrogate and re-think knowledge production, its politics and to exercise epistemic and ontological pluralism in and outside of the classroom.
