On Decolonizing Curriculums: The Unethicality and Implications of Western Knowledge on Arab Subjectivity
In this essay (originally delivered as a lecture at Alberta University of the Arts), my thoughts are centered around the question of the ethics of knowledge as an Arab racialized pedagogue and researcher in Western academia. Today, as I grapple with the notion of decolonization, I wish to think about the ways in which knowledge, or what is deemed as knowledge, is read and inscribed, interpreted, distorted, and even silenced in our epistemologies,…

In this essay, I apply autoethnography as a research methodology as I unpack and reflect on my personal lived experience as a Syrian immigrant in order to better understand the experience of the Syrian refugees today. In this autoethnographic exercise, I undertake three steps: I first delve into my personal lived experience and dig through the layers and in between the folds of my heart and my father's. I then explore the Palestinian refugee's li…
