This reading group surveys leading studies in the recent literature on Decoloniality and the Decolonization of Knowledge, which interrogates the hegemony of Eurocentric systems of thought and debates the challenges and potentials for the emergence of non-Western paradigms or knowledge and thought in the academia and beyond. The goal of DecolRG is to explore and discuss the ways in which Islamic political thought and the Islamic intellectual field in Turkey can be understood and evaluated as part of processes of decoloniality that seems to have started in Turkey as a political project as early as the 1950s.
