This panel will include a series of presentations and discussions about why and how to integrate a decolonize lens when teaching International Development Studies courses.

One of the things that I find so interesting about many of the proposed discussions is the emphasis on the areas of focus that Alex has identified as potential gaps in teaching so it would be good to then turn to recent approaches to decolonize development studies with some reflections from others on the panel including:

2. Andy Paras - and her new course on 'Decolonizing Development'

3. Ajay Parasram - and his reflections on the new course they've developed at Dalhousie on 'Racism and Development' (taught by Ajay Parasram), and new 4th year capstone course (also taught by Ajay), and their ongoing discussions about decolonization of IDS,

4. Laura Parisi to talk about how her experiences teaching gender and intersectionality in IDS.
