Reflections on, and Experiences of, Data Decolonization

57 minutes

In this fourth episode, we talk with Paola Ricaurte Quijano, Karin Pfeffer, and Caroline Geveart about how we can make knowledge production more equitable. Paola introduces us to the concept of ‘data decoloniality’ and illustrates through various examples how the geography of knowledge production reflects and reproduces colonial inequalities. Together with Karin and Caroline, we reflect on the role of our faculty and university within this unequal system and brainstorm about ways geo-sciences can improve. This podcast is produced by Sara Trejos from Sillón Estudios.
