indigenisation for PG scholarship |
Dr Radebe |
|
|
The indigenisation of the scholarship is a response to the continued marginalisation of indigenous knowledges which is detrimental to the humanistic project. While there are efforts to acknowledge indigenous knowledges as role players in the production of knowledge, the premise is still western. The call to indigenise scholarship is the call to bring indigenous knowledges without distilling them into Western concepts and categories. This acknowledges the fact that indigenous people have kept their knowledges safe in everyday practices which include stories, metaphors, proverbs, naming, cultural practices and languages just to mention a few. These knowledges have sustained indigenous people during colonialism. As such, they have an important role to play in providing alternative knowledges that will respond to the present-day challenges. This presentation brings practical examples to show how indigenous knowledges ensure the holistic approach in PG scholarship. |
