1. Background of the session
Decolonization of academia has been a hot topic of discussion in recent years. Unlike post-colonial discourse right after the WWII, which predominantly focused on the dismantling physical dominance by former colonizers and the global political and economic structure to disadvantage the developing world, recent academic discourse on decoloniality refers to an intellectual project that seeks to unsettle the colonial foundations of knowledge production and challenge the dominance of Eurocentric frameworks in research, teaching, practice, and theory. Development Studies is a field whose academic core is most directly linked with the human history of colonialism and the modernist framework of social evolution, which originated from the West.

While an increasing number of Southern and Eastern scholars publish their works in “high-impact” English-medium journals, the criteria for evaluating the quality of their works do not change fundamentally, and, more often than not, our ideas are circulated without overcoming the conventional epistemological frame of reference.

At the same time, in today’s world where we witness various natural disasters and social, political, and humanitarian challenges, we cannot help but reflect on the changing notion of development and its multiple, often conflicting natures. Based on this consideration, in this session, we will explore the meanings and potential of decolonizing development studies, with distinguished presenters from South Korea and the Philippines.

2. Key questions
- From whose perspectives do we discuss “development”?
- What kind of influence does the above question have on our realities?
- What role can academics play in providing a normative and policy-oriented platform to mediate different perspectives on “development”?

3. Expected outcome of the session
This session aims to call attention to the urgent task for scholars of development studies to exchange ideas and try innovation in theory-building and methodologies for inquiring into questions. The organizers hope that it will serve as the springboard for further discussion and exploration.
