Decolonization

I know it's out of context but I loved this line:

Decolonization must therefore be a multidisciplinary, if not an interdisciplinary, project, since the beginning of racial thinking during the colonial turn marked the advent of disciplinarity in more than one sense of the word.

Thanks for drawing our attention to this important quote! I'm also doing a phd, and definitely aspire to decolonization!
