Global Assembly for Knowledge Democracy

The 1st Global Assembly for Knowledge Democracy will be held in Cartagena, Colombia, June 16, 2017. The Global Assembly will address the extent to which epistemological, ideological and political differences can be reconciled in the interest of a sustainable and socially just world. The Global Assembly will address this question in the context of an ecology of knowledges, organized with the intention of initiating a thoughtful and strategic assessment of the politics of knowledge creation and the potential of participatory approaches as alternatives to a monolithic knowledge enterprise based on the domination of the Global North and the marginalization and subordination of other knowledges.
