Theorising decolonial silences in the neoliberal university

Abstract

During the summer of 2020, several universities and academics made highly radical and progressive statements about their positionality and progressive aims in the context of the Black Lives Matter Protests. The same was observed in 2022 following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and in the UK, several universities even offered admissions and fellowships to Ukrainian students and academics. This culture of ‘radical politics’ and protection of academic freedom was soon to change.
