About Resource
Resource is an online platform dedicated to the decolonization of education. They strive to challenge the claimed superiority and universality of Western perspectives in higher education and promote a plurality of knowledge forms. The platform also aims to question whose voices are heard and considered as authentic and valid, and whose voices are marginalized.
They believe that colonial power was not only about conquering and dominating foreign territories, but it also created racialized hierarchies and devalued other cultures and ways of knowing. Resource acknowledges that decolonization is not just a numbers game; it is about being conscious of what kind of knowledge is being represented and what is being excluded. They emphasize the need to address diversity in hiring policies and ask the hard questions about why the number of staff from other cultures is so limited at universities.
Resource recognizes that decolonization is a complex and uncomfortable process that requires a protracted struggle over time, spanning several generations. Ultimately, they advocate for rewriting colonial history and building a different future through a pluralistic approach to knowledge
