Matthews, Sally – Teaching in Higher Education, 2021
In this paper, I explore whether and how white people can make a meaningful contribution to decolonising university curricula.

Giddy, Patrick – South African Journal of Education, 2012
Building on Ndofirepi's plea for an approach to teaching philosophy to high-school learners in Africa that is a hybrid of western and African thought, I argue that a critical touchstone is needed if the traditional wisdom is to be sifted, and that this can be found in the idea of the questioning and responsible subject. Traditional proverbs and…
