Knowledge creation for decoloniality
•
Hallmark in knowledge creation process – theory generation.
•
To generate theory: we need comparison – of events,
experiences, outcomes.
•
Comparison requires a standard: ‘good’ experiences – the
task is to establish a standard that is sufficiently nuanced.
•
Comparison - needs a balance between concern
about ‘place’ and ‘ideas’.
•
To identify a series of
connected items
upon which to
establish trends, in an ethically sound way.
