Turning the Decolonial Gaze towards Ourselves: Decolonising the Curriculum and ‘Decolonial Reflexivity’ in Sociology and Social Theory

Abstract: This article provides a theoretical evaluation of the author’s attempts at decolonising a sociology and social theory course in Singapore. It also introduces the notion of ‘decolonial reflexivity’ as a strategy for refining academic decolonisation. In doing so, this article seeks to overcome both the insufficient introspection about the potential for coloniality to reside within efforts at academic decolonisation, and the tendency to separate theoretical and applied discussions about academic decolonisation.

“…(See also Bhambra, Gebrial, and Nişancıoğlu 2018;Mai and Kadiwal 2021;Alexander and Arday 2015;Shay 2016). Such transformations may inspire and empower teachers and students from all backgrounds to deepen their intellectual curiosity (Cheang and Suterwalla 2020, 881), critical and reflective analysis of power, and the historical and on-going systemic oppression that minoritized ethnic students face throughout their lives (Moosavi 2022). For decolonisation to be possible, we must work with our discomfort and accept the complexity of the concept in order to allow the accommodation of multiple perspectives and approaches to decolonisation based on our socio-political positionality, our role inside academia and our access to power (Motta 2019;Quinn 2019).…”

“…Recently, debates on decolonisation have become more dominant among scholarly discussions (Arday and Safia Mirza 2018;de Jong, Icaza, and Olivia 2019;Quinn 2019;Shannon et al 2020;Moosavi 2022). They call for 'the end of dominant ideologies that position white, male, Western, capitalist, heterosexual, European worldviews in higher education' as the central knowledge canon (Arday, Zoe Belluigi, and Thomas 2021, 300), favouring more inclusive intersectional curricula that embody global perspectives and experiences (Shay 2016;Arday and Safia Mirza 2018;Bhambra, Gebrial, and Nişancıoğlu 2018;Icaza and de Jong 2019;Banks 2020).…”

“…Em linhas gerais, o texto navegará por debates e casos que subjazem às próprias condições geopolíticas de produção do conhecimento sociológico contemporâneo, para propor um rearranjo da relação entre teoria e pesquisa (Moosavi, 2022) na forma de uma ética da ontoformatividade: uma postura teórico-metodológica na qual a teoria deverá estar sempre aberta à possibilidade de ampliação empírica das condições de existência e de composição da vida coletiva. Ou seja, uma sociologia que tenha como exercício central a pesquisa em contextos inauditos para a produção e ampliação ontológica e conceitual inovadora em escala global.…”
