Decolonizing Deep History

  • Public Event

REGISTRATION REQUIRED.

This talk will suggest the necessity and possibility of decolonizing Deep history. Deep history, which is an intensive knowledge of the history of the earth, defined European epistemology of nature as well as the colonial exploitation of natural resources. Decolonizing that epistemology requires rethinking the history of nature and of the earth.
