"Sociology, as a discipline, was born at the height of global colonialism and imperialism. Over a century later, it is yet to shake off its commitment to colonial ways of thinking."

On Fri 26 Feb at 10am (GMT), the Department of Sociology at Cambridge will be hosting a digital book launch for Dr Ali Meghji’s ‘Decolonizing Sociology’ via Twitter. Dr Meghji will be posting a thread of some of the key arguments contained in his book, and some of the open questions contained in the discussions of postcolonial and decolonial approaches to/in sociology. Our aim is to create a dialogical process with lots of engagement and interaction, so in this spirit we want to encourage people to post questions and thoughts onto Ali’s thread as he tweets, and he will reply to your comments as a Twitter-mediated Q&A!
