- Does decolonising the curriculum and the university need leaders? If it does, who should lead?
- Why does Art, Design and Communication in Higher Education shy away from discussing their entanglement within systems and values of the capitalist markets?
- What insights from decolonising the curriculum and university apply to decarbonising?
Climate Justice is the point where the movements for decolonization and decarbonization converge. Climate Justice offers a coherent and fair alternative to corporate-technocratic “climate solutions”, such as carbon offsetting schemes on indigenous lands, or mineral extraction for renewable energy, which are transgressing planetary boundaries and compounding the injustices of colonialism.
In the consumer nations, art, design, and communication education are entangled within the systems and values of the capitalist market. Yet they have vital potential to engage and inspire through cultural action and creative transformation.
