Saving our brains from the violence of colonial education: the case for a practical theologically-informed decolonial pedagogy for Haitian Education

Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)

This paper makes use of Freirean theory and decolonial theory to investigate the role practical theology can and must play in shaping pedagogy, especially in places like Haiti, where violence is systemic and all-pervasive. Framing coloniality as a disease, it argues for a pedagogy of decolonial healing that builds from a Boulagan reimagining of the Gospel.
