I uploaded the final prompt with other file that has the slides for Decolonization please follow all the instructions
Decolonization
We have discussed settler colonialism and other ways that U.S. institutions active oppress people of color. Now we’re going to talk about decolonization.
Typically we know decolonization to be separation and recovery from colonialism, especially about a country or territory. I am asking you to consider decolonization as a reclaiming, as a recovery, from colonial trauma and hegemonic (mainstream, dominant) standards of living. Decolonization can be decolonizing from beauty standards (whiteness seen as most beautiful, for example), from Disney shows and media in general (what do we see in the media thats harmful in terms of race and/or ethnicity?) and hip hop music (what in hop hop can be seen as harmful? Or needs to change?). Im asking you to think outside of the box about decolonization. That includes how we might not see ourselves as academically capable as described above. Who has ever told us that were not smart enough, that we cant go to college, that something is too hard for us to learn? Lets decolonize from that!
Watch this video on decolonization! It will prepare you for your final unit project.
