Questioning the Epistemology of Decolonise: The Case of Geography

I wrote this piece: Questioning the Epistemology of Decolonise: The Case of Geography for the Social Epistemology Research and Reply Collective. It was a response to the uncritical adoption of "decolonise" as a moral imperative (as opposed to a political position) at the 2017 Royal Geographical Conference in London.


It is not on the usual topics I write about, but for me making the humanist case for knowledge, and defending this as a gain from the Enlightenment, are very important for people on the Left.
