Lifelong Learning and Adult Online and Distance Education – May 2022 Workshop Opportunity
UBUNTU, COSMO-UBUNTU, AND
ANTI-RACISM:
A MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO JUSTICE IN EDUCATION
With support from the Penn State College of Education, the Department of Learning and Performance Systems (LPS) and the Lifelong Learning and Adult Education (LLAED) program, and the Center for the Study of Higher Education (CSHE) this complimentary virtual workshop series will reflect on uBuntu and Cosmo-uBuntu theorizing.
Cosmo-uBuntu is the voluntary embracing of uBuntu as a foundational value system in our participation in planetary conviviality; that is, the embracing of uBuntu as our perception of humanness and a worldview that informs our conviviality, without forcing universality. In this value system, personhood applies to all humans and precludes individuation, classifications, and hierarchies. In other words, humans are humans because of humans, thus race, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic class, ethnic and/or geopolitical origin are incommensurate categories. (Cossa 2018)
