| Popis: | This article illustrates the complexities as well as the promises of enacting a decolonial praxis in the context of teacher professional development. Focusing on a specific case of teacher professional development workshops in Pakistan, and drawing on the methodology of narrative inquiry, I outline some of the pedagogical (re)encounters that I created to reclaim local knowledge ecologies. It entailed examining the current moment of coloniality, including acknowledging internalized “extraversion” or westward orientation; an active reengagement with local landscapes, intellectual productions, and teacher selves, including a critique of hegemonic relations of domination; and finally, becoming hunarmand (skillful) in taking up, twisting, and molding dominant pedagogical models toward anti- and decolonial ends. |
