Educational Reform

THROUGH DECOLONIAL PRACTICES

About the Decolonial Perspectives & Practices HUB

The Decolonial Perspectives & Practices Hub is a nonprofit organization based in Montreal, QC. Founded in 2019, it aims to transform higher education into an equitable and inclusive space. To this end, we foster collaboration among faculty, students, and community organizations. We also address the systemic challenges underserved groups face in academia.

Our Core Principles

Decolonial education fosters a richer and more inclusive teaching and learning experience for everyone by valuing diverse perspectives, challenging colonial patterns, and promoting equity in knowledge production.

Oral Histories

We prioritize storytelling as a decolonial approach to examine our shared past and present, fostering collective futures by emphasizing community knowledge and elder histories as vital educational resources.

Community Knowledge

We believe community drives knowledge. Our events foster dialogue among students, faculty, staff, and community to unlearn and co-create educational practices that honour Indigenous, Black, and marginalized knowledge.

Anti-Racism Education

We focus on antiracism education to decolonize knowledge, offering video resources and course packages that incorporate lived experiences in addressing systemic racism in the classroom.

Youth Empowerment

We are committed to breaking barriers in education through student internships and mentorship, empowering marginalized youth to address social justice issues that impact them

Hub Student Contributors
