Decolonization and the Study of Religion Workshop (DSRW) Series
The Committee for the Decolonization and the Study of Religion Workshop (DSRW) Series is pleased to invite both graduate students and faculty members to its inaugural workshop: Decolonizing the Scholar, facilitated by Professor Yann Allard-Tremblay (McGill University).
The DSRW is a bi-monthly event series taking place throughout the Winter 2023 semester, organized by religious studies graduate students at both Concordia and McGill universities. Each month we will hold two events: a reading seminar and a skills-based workshop, each led by invited faculty speakers, graduate students, or community facilitators specializing in research methods, classroom relationships, pedagogy, and public scholarship. The DSRW aims to familiarize participants with emergent decolonial discourses; to equip them with praxis-informed decolonial skills that can be used both within and beyond the classroom; and to facilitate the application of decolonization and Indigenization strategies within religious studies at the departmental level.
After the tremendous success of the first workshop, the Committee for the Decolonization and the Study of Religion Workshop (DSRW) Series is delighted to invite both graduate students and faculty members to its second event: Indigeneity and Inter-religious Dialogue, facilitated by Zac Roberts (Macquarie University).
Although this event is concerned with the study of religion, we invite anybody interested or curious, from any intellectual background, to join this discussion. No prior knowledge of or exposure to decolonial methods are necessary: it will be a space for all to learn and collaboratively envision how to think and do otherwise. Registration is limited: please secure your place at https://forms.gle/iMoDoikEPu29jgwH7
Light food and refreshments will be served. Please share any dietary restrictions on the registration page; we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
