Dr. Amy Scott Metcalfe (University of British Columbia) invited us to question the possibilities of the promise of social justice in the current higher education scenario, rooted in colonial relationships. She explains “The title of my talk, \u201cViewing the landscape of doctoral education against the horizon of\u00a0policy: Placing ourselves in the academic arboretum,\u201d<\/strong> emphasizes educational purpose and\u00a0place, but also the colonial underpinnings of Western science. The \u201chorizon of policy\u201d references\u00a0the spatializing sensibility of being located in a particular spot and turning around to view the\u00a0encircling horizon. This is a planetary standpoint. The metaphor of a 360 degree \u201cpolicy\u00a0horizon\u201d takes into consideration that we must move our entire beings to realize what is all\u00a0around us, instead of facing in one direction and only seeing what is straight ahead.<\/p>\n

Why CIRGE is talking about social justice in Doctorate Education?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Doctoral education is the most advanced level of education that individuals can achieve and one of the spaces where different types of knowledge are discovered, passed on from one generation of scholars to the next, and re-interpreted in the process. These functions give doctoral education unique access to individuals and institutions that are in positions of authority in different nations, and consequently, an extra responsibility to work toward democracy, inclusion, diversity, and equity; in short, social justice.<\/p>\n
