This book examines how academics have used decolonial pedagogies and methods to teach and research development studies as they grapple with colonial modernity’s ruptures and post- development critiques of international relations. Calls for the decolonisation of the ‘stale, pale, and male’ university could be regarded as the prescriptive source of inspiration for this work.... Doctoral students, researchers, and academics in social science working on international relations and development, higher education, and cultural studies will primarily benefit from this book.
