Colston, Cornwallis, Computers and the Cosmic Crime of Coloniality: Using Afrofuturism to explore attitudes, perspectives and readiness for decolonial

本文件将概述一个拟议的博士研究项目，该项目旨在利用投机期货的方法来探索英国和加拿大教育技术中关于非殖民化的现有态度、观念和变革准备。它还提出了一个潜在的关键非洲未来主义模式，用于教育技术领域的专业发展，以应对非殖民化的变化。该项目将利用非洲未来主义的元框架，提供一个概念和理论基础，从这个基础上可以启动更实际的研究元素，将项目的各个组成部分结合成一个有凝聚力和综合的学术努力，旨在批判性地改变围绕教育技术、殖民以及我们作为教育者/学习者、技术专家和研究人员在这一新兴部门转变中的相关角色、义务和责任的对话。

This document will outline a proposed doctoral research project which aims to leverage a speculative futures approach to explore existing attitudes, perceptions and change readiness regarding decoloniality in EdTech in the UK and Canada. It also proposes a potential critical Afrofuturist model for professional development regarding change readiness for decoloniality in EdTech.The project will leverage an Afrofuturist meta-framework, which provides a conceptual and theoretical substrate from which the more practical elements of research can be launched, tying the various components of the project into a cohesive and integrated academic effort aimed at critically shifting the dialogue around EdTech, coloniality and our related roles, obligations and responsibilities as educators/learners, technologists and researchers in this emerging sectoral shift.
