Taking as its starting premise a refusal to indulge decolonization as a mere metaphor (Tuck and Yang 2012) in the evasions and moves to innocence of white settler colonialism, This Decoloniality will interrogate core conceptual and instrumental aims of decolonization to repatriate Indigenous land and life. We will also engage with the long history of what Aníbal Quijano has dubbed the ‘colonial matrix of power’ (CMP) in terms of the concept of ‘decoloniality’ as ‘ways of thinking, knowing, being, and doing that began with, but also precede, the colonial enterprise and invasion.’ (Mignolo and Walsh 2018). Acknowledging both the urgency and difficulty of any decolonial process, we will be asking what specific feature of decoloniality are possible for us within the institutional framework of a US university today. In short, when asking what decoloniality is for us, we will articulate what ‘this’ decoloniality is as an unfinished and ongoing process.
