When you look at the world, do you see a reflection of yourself? Watch this talk about Afro/Indigenous Spiritualism and Loss of Culture, focused on the generational impact of colonialism in Australia.
The below video is the most recent of our Black History Month 2021 events. You can see more on our News pages.
In this talk from Black Lives Matter speaker and international human rights activist, scholar and educator, Natasha March, we explore one of the biggest issues facing the pursuit of equality in western society; the failure to see things from someone else’s point of view.
Natasha takes us on a journey where she exposes how rigid Western views of knowledge have created institutional discrimination. She explains how colonisation and “West is best” methods of research have created generational trauma for many races and cultures. We’re also taken on a journey where Natasha explains her experiences with Spiritualism.
The talk, which took place on 12 November 2021, touches on parts of Natasha’s PhD research, including:
- Decolonising ethnographic research.
- Generational trauma.
- Colonial trauma.
- Effects of British colonisation and western supremacy.
- Critical race theories.
- Place and animism.
