研讨会介绍：
研讨会“What is Epistemic Decolonization? ”的举办是为了鼓励科学哲学家讨论和反思其领域的whiteness ，包括殖民和后殖民等思想和认知对他们理解知识生产(科学是什么以及科学如何运作)的影响，并调整当下正在进行的研究，使其更接近非西方和本土哲学。
研讨会既是对全球政治气候的回应，包括Black Lives Matter运动、极右翼和白人至上主义政治；也是对近期一些重要的学术研究的回应，比如Veli Mitova在2020年编辑的”Epistemic Decolonization“特刊和由David Ludwig、Inkeri Koskinen、Zinhle Mncube、Luana Poliseli编辑的即将出版的论文集Global Epistemologies and Philosophies of Science。
“What is Epistemic Decolonization? ”强调去殖民化是一个过程而非结果。虽然Decolonization并非一个能描述世界行动及其变化的正确术语，也不是不能质疑的规定用语。但该术语作为一种协调不同参与者表达自己意图的方式，仍然非常有用。因此，研讨会最后将题目设置为一个问句，旨在鼓励所有参与者思考这场研讨会中涉及的概括性词语。
主办单位：利物浦大学、伯明翰大学、约翰内斯堡大学和波鸿鲁尔大学
