📢 CIARS is excited to announce its 13th Annual Decolonizing Conference!
This year’s theme:
✨ Colonial Ruptures: Unmasking Ongoing Coloniality and Fostering Resistance and Liberatory Possibilities
This conference seeks to advance critical anti-colonial knowledge, critique the present, and reimagine new futures of living well together for generations to come. From keynote lectures, paper presentations, and group panels to art installations, new media, and community-led workshops, the conference is inclusive and seeks to welcome speakers and participants from varied backgrounds.
Our previous conference offering in 2023 attracted over 900 domestic and international participants. It is our priority to continue this dialogue by engaging students, scholars, community members, and other thinkers in critical conversations on the structural and systemic issues—such as racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, Islamophobia, Antisemitisms, and human rights injustices—that shape our societies and experiences.
The conference is open to faculty, students, educators, Elders, artists, activists, and independent scholars engaged in anti-colonial and anti-racist work. Conference registration is now open!
