We are no longer working with the Center of Study and Investigation for Decolonial Dialogues. Our new institutional sponsor is the Center for Decolonial Thought, a non-profit and non-governmental organization promoting research, knowledge-making, education. Decolonial Thought is crucial to become relevant actors in social transformation and is necessary to create institutions of knowledge-making not at the service of profits or domination, but to the benefit of people's liberation from systems of oppression.For further inquiries and information, please send e-mail to decolonialknowledge [at] dialogoglobal.com.
