"Sense and non-sense in the decolonisation of curriculum". The paper had been pre-circulated to academic staff of the EMS Faculty.

The Colloquium was facilitated by Prof Matthew Ocran, Professor and Chair, Dept of Economics, and Deputy Dean - Academic Planning, EMS Faculty.

Prof Moenieba Isaacs, Acting Director of the Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS) was the Discussant of the Paper.

The participants engaged in a lively discussion, raising questions around identity, the role of the university in society, decolonisation of the academic, and decolonising society as key components of the decolonisation of the tertiary curriculum.
