Education, Epistemic Justice and the Knowledge Commons (EpiNet), chaired by the University of Gulu, Uganda and with partners in the universities of Adelaide, Bristol, Calgary, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Leiden and Victoria, as well as Pria.
EpiNet envisions strengthening an approach favouring relational ‘ecologies of knowledge’ over hierarchical research and partnership arrangements that have dominated knowledge production and exchange in education and research. EpiNet aims to connect with diverse knowledge partners and collaborators from marginalised groups across Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, and Oceania with the goal to create one mutually shared network. It aims to contribute to Cameroonian historian Mbembe’s view of ‘critical cosmopolitan pluriversalism’, a process that necessitates relearning and reassessing the world through diverse epistemologies and practices.
