Engaging Diversity in Teaching Religion and Theology: An Intercultural, De-Colonial Epistemic Perspective
Andraos, Michel Elias
Teaching Theology & Religion, v15 n1 p3-15 Jan 2012
This essay explores new ways of engaging diversity in the production of knowledge in the classroom using coloniality as an analytical lens. After briefly engaging some of the recent literature on coloniality, focusing on the epistemic dimension, the author uses the example of teaching a course on religion, culture, and theology, where he employs this analysis, to develop a new pedagogical approach as a step towards an intercultural, de-colonial theological education. (Contains 9 footnotes.)
