Welcome to the pilot cohort of ColMech.
We hope that you will actively share with us course designers how the course goes for you, how it can be improved, and what we can add to support your explorations.
Live Feedback Sessions
As ColMech is designed as a three-month exploration, we will host three feedback sessions to hear directly from you. The first two sessions are scheduled for
11am BRT on 20th May 2025
11am BRT on 16th June 2025
To receive calendar invites for the above sessions, please use the contact form on the right.
The third session will be held in July - we'll send out another Doodle poll in June for any interested participants.
Everything you need to get started
The Compass questions seek to help you define and express your various purposes in joining Mechanisms of Ongoing Colonisation, as a seed for individual reflection.
Colonial indoctrination trains via specific learning styles. This starts from an early age through schooling, a one-size-fits-all approach that disregards cultural contexts and individual experiences.
We encourage participants to notice colonial teaching and learning dynamics and try to explore other approaches. This course is designed for broad explorations of coloniality, so as to support and motivate your un/learning processes. We encourage you to situate explorations within your contexts, and root understanding within lived realities.
Observe your feelings and reactions; resist the temptation for speed and intellectualisation.
