The word Ubuntu is a South African term that translates to "a person is a person through other people." This philosophy focuses on one's humanity and recognition of the "other" in their uniqueness and differences. Dr. Lamont Slater will lead a discussion on applying Ubuntu philosophical principles within the context of a classroom setting taking a "deep dive " into ways that Ubuntu can decolonize the delivery of instruction and classroom settings, and allow for deep thought and critical thinking. Dr. Lamont Slater has lived and worked in Windhoek, Namibia for four years and learned how to employ these practices during his time abroad.
Presented by Dr. Lamont Slater, Rio Salado Chair, Humanities, Philosophy and Religion Honors Program Director.
