The Institute is delighted to announce the launch of a new podcast series, Decolonising Ideas, as part of the Institute Project on Decoloniality (IPD '24).  

Informed by the work of a variety of IASH Fellows, Decolonising Ideas aims to introduce listeners to the theories and practice of Decoloniality, explore the breadth of decolonial inquiry occurring at the Institute, and examine how IASH scholarship relates to broader issues of coloniality across the Global South and Global North. 

Our first episode, 'Decoloniality and the Arab Majority World', features Alwaleed Postdoctoral Fellows Dr Nadeen Dakkak and Dr Ali Kassem as they discuss their scholarship, lived experience, and how their work is informed by and relates to theories of decoloniality. You can find this episode on all major podcast streaming services, such as Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or listen using the following:
