University of Colour/Mission Statement

We aim to decolonize the university. We believe that the current global power structure is an outgrowth of that of colonial times. The will to colonize has extended itself from territories to our minds. Currently, university curricula are Eurocentric and indoctrinating; this can be concluded, for instance, from the fact that most of the literature is European or American. Our project includes creating a more balanced curriculum that includes non-Eurocentric perspectives and ideas that challenge ongoing colonialism. We also aim to diversify university teaching and non-teaching staff as well as management to include more people of colour, as well as women, LGBTQIA+ people, economically disenfranchised people and disabled people; the same we seek to achieve for the student population.
