This INEE blog summarises insights from the research programme ‘Decolonising Knowledge Systems’.
Specifically, it focuses on the field of education of forced migrants and the rise and quick growth of the field over the past 20 years. It looks to uncover patterns in knowledge production, examining the role of colonial legacies and how they manifest in the type of knowledge produced — and how the knowledge is produced.
This blog presents the main features of the knowledge produced in the field of forced displacement, namely: the depoliticisation, the influence of Western humanitarianism, and unequal voices between the Global North and the Global South.
