Decolonial Research Methods Workshop

Cambridge Decolonising Criminology Network

Our Decolonial Methods Seminar will introduce PhD and MPhil students to using postcolonial theory as a methodological agenda in their work

Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge

<p>Given that criminal legal systems arise from socially constructed value systems, the postcolonial turn in criminology promotes a continued critical analysis of the factors shaping the development of these value systems. Analysis of policing and punishment practices demonstrate persistent differences in enforcement and community impact, thereby reinforcing and co-creating social differences. Evidence indicates an internal feedback loop between the social framing of crimes and the discursive construction of a ‘dangerous other’, providing justifications for escalating policing practices, surveillance, and punishments. This provides impetus for a Decolonial Methods Seminar that aims to provide a basis for all social scientists to critically consider their own role in constructing a social reality and purporting to establish objective ‘truths’.</p><h2>Workshop Structure</h2><ul><li><strong>Training on Fundamental Decolonial Theory Concepts</strong></li></ul><ul><li><strong>Panel Discussion on Decolonial Research Praxis in Criminology, Sociology, Law, Education, and Geography</strong></li></ul><ul><li><strong>Small Group Training on </strong><em><strong>Implementing Decolonial Methods in Participants&#x27; Own Research</strong></em></li></ul><p></p><h3>F﻿or those who are unable to attend in person, please register to participate on Zoom at the following link: </h3><p>https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEqd-6prz4jE9G92_rIO3Hi2nGI7UmZkREU</p>
