Decolonial Summer Schools in Spain<\/h3>\n

Dialogo Global, a Center of Study and Investigation for Decolonial Dialogues, is a non-profit and non-governmental organization promoting research, knowledge-making, education. Dialogo Global organizes two Summer Schools in Spain.<\/p>\n

In Barcelona<\/a> the Summer School is on \u201cDecolonizing Knowledge and Power\u201d. The Summer Schools looks into questions of epistemology, activism, decolonizing the mind and power.<\/p>\n

In Granada<\/a> the Summer School is on Critical Muslim Studies: Decolonial Struggles and Liberation Theologies. Critical Muslim Studies is inspired by a need for opening up a space for intellectually rigorous and socially committed explorations between decolonial thinking and studies of Muslims, Islam and the Islamicate. Critical Muslim Studies does not take Islam as only a spiritual tradition, or a civilization, but also as a possibility of a decolonial epistemic perspective that suggests contributions and responses to the problems facing humankind today. It offers an opportunity to interpret and understand Muslim phenomena in ways that does not reproduce Eurocentrism, Islamophobia or takfiri exclusivism.<\/p>\n

In the framework of SISUMMA and in collaboration with the Critical Muslim Studies Summer School, the Euro\u2013Arab Foundation hosted the conference \u201cDebates on “Critical Muslim Studies” in Granada (July 2017), video provided by SISUMMA<\/p>\n
