Detaljerat program i bilaga längst ned i denna artikel.

Indigenous thinking has traditionally been excluded from western universities as a part of the ongoing, colonial epistemicide. Yet in many ways, indigenous thinking and practice may hold keys for a richer, more sustainable way of life and understanding of the world. As a follow up to the venture into indigenous thinking in a recent course in philosophy here at Södertörn, we now invite you to participate in a workshop with leading scholars on Indigenous Studies from Canada, Sweden and Australia on indigenous thinking and landbased knowledge.
