After the
successful opening at the ‘Uni Q’ the exhibition ‘Routinely and Lovingly
Scrutinizing Narratives’ is extended and will be displayed in the windows of
the former bookstore Luce between the 23rd July and the 24th
August. It shows research projects by Masters' students of the course
‘Decolonizing Educational Research’ by Dr. Leila Angod.
The students' PhotoVoice
projects will be showcased within the series of events ‘(Im)Possibilities of
Higher Education’ of the student council/Fachschaft Erziehungswissenschaft.
They should
contribute the discourse of colonial consistencies at the university.
Furthermore, through
the exhibition, we pursue the goal of taking a look at the conditions of
student knowledge production as well as at their appreciation and recognition.
The
participants of the course as well as the student council/ Fachschaft
Erziehungswissenschaft are looking forward to your visit.

* The individual projects are the students way of enacting and and being in conversation with the key text that has been studied in this course: Decolonizing Educational Research by Leigh Patel (2016). The quote in the title of the exhibition, “routinely and lovingly scrutinizing narratives” (p. 89), is cited from Patel’s book. This description of a pathway for pursuing a decolonizing practice is one that resonated with the class.
“Photovoice is a technique by which the taking of photographs or videos – usually by people who are disadvantaged, ignored, and/or discriminated against – becomes a means of both self-expression and personal and intellectual growth. In addition, participants essentially function as participatory action researchers, documenting conditions and problems in ways that can be used for community assessment and as a spur to policy makers and other officials to institute community change” (Rabinowitz, https://ctb.ku.edu/…/assessing-community-ne…/photovoice/main)
