Toward a Borderless, Decolonized, Socially Just, and Inclusive Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
Behari-Leak, Kasturi
Teaching & Learning Inquiry, v8 n1 p4-23 2020
In the context of global curriculum transformation and from a global South perspective, this article explores the imposed and self-created borders that continue to "discipline" us into reproducing scholarly processes, practices, and traditions that privilege dominant forms of knowledge making and knowing in teaching and learning. Drawing on Africa as a case study to explore a framework for thinking outside borders, the author invites the reader to embrace a global social imagination that disrupts and transcends the epistemic, social, and cultural borders designed to produce knowledge that is a historical and decontextualized. Using a social mapping of how we thrive on neatly delineated borders that detach the known from the knower by marginalizing or delegitimizing knowledges of the Other, this article, which draws on an earlier version presented as a keynote at the 16th annual conference of the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, presents a theory of change geared toward borderless, decolonized, socially just, and inclusive pedagogy and scholarship.
