Description
Regarding the universal yet contextualized, contemporary yet structural inequalities in today's postcolonial world, comparative and international education research (CIE) proves powerful in addressing the complex, global and cross-cultural issues which characterise the twenty-first century (Crossley, 1999). As a Vietnamese scholar coming to study in the UK under the UK government-funded scholarship, I could see the colonial legacy and power imbalance in knowledge production, and simultaneously examine it via access to diverse academic works and respectful, critical, cross-cultural dialogues at the university. I believe "there's no such thing as neutral education" (Freire, 1996), and advocate for a reimagined education that promotes equality and freedom, starting from the postcolonial/decolonial perspective of knowledge.| Period | 29 Nov 2021 |
