Call for narratives: Strengthening agency in the pluriverse of the academic worlds

As part of the UniPID Annual Seminar 2024, Strengthening Agency in the Pluriverse of Academic Worlds, UniPID is collecting narratives that reflect towards a more inclusive academic environment. We invite you to share your experiences, challenges, and successes related to plurality and equity in global academic collaborations.

These contributions will be used during the group discussions in the seminar. Both in-person and online participants will engage with your experiences, exploring concrete examples and tools to advocate for a more inclusive and diverse academia. All submissions are anonymous and will be used solely for discussion purposes. UniPID may edit or remove sensitive information to ensure a safe and respectful environment.

Ready to contribute? Share your experience by filling out the box below by 29 October.

Feel free to base your narrative on one of the following prompts, though other relevant experiences are equally welcome:

  • Describe a time when paradigms and perspectives from the Global North dominated your academic experience.
  • Share an example of pluralism in academia where you felt inclusive practices were successfully implemented.
  • Reflect on a situation where you or someone you know felt excluded due to ideas, epistemologies, or background.
  • Discuss the administrative or structural aspects at your institution that either promote or challenge pluralism and inclusion in academia.
  • Any other relevant experience you wish to highlight.

Remember to register for the seminar by Tuesday, 29 October here.
