Decolonizing Everything: Untaught Histories
Were you taught the full truth about colonialism? If your history education fell short, this conference is for you.
Too often, conversations about colonial history are gatekept by academia or placed solely on the shoulders of Indigenous peoples and those living in former colonies. Decolonizing Everything bridges that gap. We are making this knowledge accessible because colonialism has shaped the systems around you, and the way you think, regardless of where you live in the world.
Whether you are new to the subject or already engaged in decolonial work, this conference invites you to deepen your understanding, challenge what you have been taught, and rethink the world through a decolonial lens.
What You Will Take Away:
The Foundations: A clear understanding of what colonialism actually is, complete with a historical timeline.
The Definitions: The critical differences between colonialism, imperialism, and empire.
The Evolution: How postcolonialism differs from decolonization by moving beyond political independence to the deeper transformation of societal structures.
The Modern Reality: The shift to recolonization, exploring how colonial power adapts through neocolonialism and contemporary forms of domination.
The Personal Impact: Actionable awareness on how to recognize and begin decolonizing your own mind.
Learn From Subject Matter Experts Each of our speakers brings specialized knowledge and a distinct perspective on the decolonial movement. Our full lineup is being finalized, but our current experts include:
Joris Lechene: Examining how colonial power extends into different, often invisible, areas of our daily lives and society.
Dr. Hilary Agro: Guiding white audiences on uncolonizing themselves and reconnecting with pre Christian European identities shaped by colonization and the historical dominance of the Roman Church.
Christian Ortiz: Exploring Decolonial AI and analyzing the intersection of artificial intelligence and colonial power, and how we can build technological futures beyond these frameworks.
You cannot dismantle a system you do not understand, and your greatest potential may currently be hidden behind colonial conditioning.
Reserve your spot today and uncover the untaught histories.
