The Politics of Knowledge

Knowledge is political. Specific knowers and knowledges are deemed legitimate or illegitimate by dominant systems of power. Therefore, to control what should be known and who is able to know forms part of the global order. Indigenous knowledges can reveal to us ways of knowing and being which exist outside of the prevailing Empires of Knowledge. Bringing together a host of scholars, practitioners, students, artists, and activists from around the world, the 4th International Conference on Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Practices (IKSP) serves as a platform for engaging critically with knowledge-making and the philosophical underpinnings of what it means to produce knowledge in the world today. The IKSP strives towards an ethos of curiosity and trans-disciplinarity, where conference attendees are encouraged to challenge and engage critically with how knowledge practices and knowledge systems are constituted, and what it would mean to privilege indigenous knowledges and practices. We hope that you will join us in South Africa for what promises to be a fruitful, stirring, and deeply educational experience.
