south asian philosophies

[course detail continues]

The philosophy performed at many of our institutions in the UK is narrow in topic, presentation style, evaluative criteria, critical thought, creative encouragement, and student concern, in addition to its intense lack of diversity and pervasive eurocentricity. This not only limits philosophy’s horizon of possibilities but also and more pressingly is structurally oppressive and epistemically silencing, inhibiting our ability to transform ourselves to better attend to, care for and about, empower, and let flourish, speak, live, and thrive marginalised people. With few diversity programmes and diverse philosophy curricula here we would like to begin to work on such a transformation through these online courses.
