Epistemic Racism\/Sexism:\u00a0 The Structure of Knowledge in Westernized Universities<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A public lecture by\u00a0<\/strong>Prof. Ram\u00f3n Grosfoguel\u00a0<\/strong>(University of California, Berkeley)<\/p>\n

Monday 12 February 2018,<\/strong> 6-8pm, Park Building 3.01<\/strong><\/p>\n

How is it possible that the canon of thought in all the disciplines of the Social Sciences and Humanities in the Westernized University is based on the knowledge production by a few men from five countries in Western Europe?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Professor Grosfoguel turns to the ‘4 genocides\/epistemicides’ of the long 16th century: ‘against the Jewish and Muslim origin population in the conquest of Al-Andalus, against indigenous people in the conquest of the Americas, against Africans kidnapped and enslaved in the Americas and against women burned alive, accused of being witches in Europe’. Grosfoguel argues that epistemicide – ‘the extermination of knowledge and ways of knowing’ – is key to understanding the Western man’s monopoly on knowledge, from the 16th century to the present day.<\/p>\n

Ram\u00f3n Grosfoguel <\/em><\/strong>is Associate Professor Ethnic Studies, specialised in Decoloniality, International Migration, Political-Economy of the World-System, Racism and Islamophobia<\/em>.<\/p>\n
