On 11 July 2024, Dr Samia Chasi, IEASA, co-presented a webinar titled “Coloniality in Virtual Exchange – Voices from South Africa” with Dr Divinia Jithoo, Durban University of Technology (DUT). Following previous editions presenting voices from Palestine & Lebanon and Brazil, this webinar was the final episode in a three-part research webinar series hosted by UNICollaboration with a focus on identifying and interrogating coloniality in virtual exchange (VE). The speakers addressed coloniality in the South African higher education context and reflected on its implications for VE practices. They also discussed the relevance and importance of decolonial approaches for critical VE research and practice.
