Engaging with the Sustainable Development Goals by going beyond Modernity: An ethical evaluation within a worldview frameworkThe UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets are an important achievement. They largely reflect the worldview of Modernity, with its emphasis on scientific and planning rationality and emancipatory ideals. This worldview is no longer evident and dominant, and it is time to systematically explore complementing worldviews. Explicit use of worldviews, as sets of values and beliefs, and ethics enriches the interpretation and implementation of the SDGs. This facilitates the engagement of citizens in their real-world diversity and the development of respect for and empathy and cooperation with people holding other values, beliefs and morals. Dialogue around ‘the middle road’ can give guidance to just, fair and sustainable development pathways.

Policy dialogue, collaboration and ICTS:A mobilization Decision Theory PerspectiveThe use of ICT to support activities in the policymaking process is on the increase. At the inception of the COVID-19 pandemic, Government agencies around the world relied on ICTs to either remotely support and/or enable policy-making activities. Policy-making activities occur via collaborative processes between interested parties by means of dialogue. Some extant ICTs utilized by government agencies support and enable collaboration and dialogue. However, the decision on what ICT to adopt is not always easy as a result of the failure of some ICTs to support the task they were designed for. As a result due diligence is needed by public service administrators to decide on which ICT to adopt. This implies a decision process required to decide if the public agency will mobilize resources to acquire and implement the ICT. But as most government agencies around the world have adopted ICT to support dialogue and collaborative activities in their policy making decision. This paper provides the result of a study where the mobilization-decision theory was used to analyse and explain reasons why government agencies around the world, aside the pressure from COVID-19, made the decision to mobilize resources to acquire, implement and utilize ICTs for policy dialogue and collaboration.

The complications of engaging with why the decolonisation of ‘knowledge’ matters to teaching and learning in higher education (ESAI)In postgraduate modules in education, I present opportunities for participants to engage inter-textually with deliberations on (a) why knowledge (singular) should be decolonised within the modern western-oriented university; (b) why the decolonisation of knowledges matter, with consideration of their relation to the formations of the self, social and ecological in education; and (c) what the potential act(s) of decolonising knowledge - through education - holds for engendering critical and generative roles which educators should occupy.
