Synopsis??

During this seminar, Prof. Lis Lange will revisit the decolonial moment in South African universities to identify missed opportunities for addressing students' sense of exclusion and lack of recognition, as well as the potential for decolonizing the university. She will also examine how the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily opened space for recognizing students’ psychosocial and economic realities and use this to offer insights into new relationships between students, the university, and society.

Drawing on Derrida (2001), Mignolo (2012), and Anzaldúa (1987), Prof. Lange proposes an ethics of hospitality as a response to the unresolved questions of #RhodesMustFall and #FeesMustFall, envisioning a refoundation of the university in the 21st century.
