This chapter presents the exemplary curricula of five academics whose work reflects some of the key ideas in decolonization: Even if some of them are reluctant to use the term itself as an adequate descriptor for their efforts at transforming knowledge at their universities. The disciplines in focus are political science (politics), philosophy, psychology, media studies, and the visual arts. A key finding is that these innovations existed in institutional enclaves before the decolonization moment and that they remain exceptional rather than commonplace in the university curriculum
