For the second year, MACTRI is hosting the UK arm of the Abdias Nascimento Academic Development Program which is a collaborative project between the Federal University of the Amazon, Federal University of the Mato Grosso and Manchester Community Training & Research Institute (MACTRI)
Overall goal of the programme
The overall goal of this leg of the programme is to use UK grassroots decolonial praxis as an inspiration for the Brazilian development of methods and strategies that combat epistemic racism generated by curricula frameworks and research practices that fail to incorporate Black, Indigenous, Latin American critical knowledge into their foundations.
The project has allowed students from UFAM to share their research and collaborate with Scholars at MACTRI who are involved with the MACTRI Scholars Publishing Programme (MASPP)
Their collaboration will culminate in the writing of a volume as part of the book series: Palgrave Studies in Decolonisation and Grassroots Black Organic Intellectualism (PSDGBOI)
