“…Research on practice with clients from the African diaspora has explored the concept of decolonised therapy to minimise the focus on White, Eurocentric approaches that may not fully address the cultural and racial identities of these clients (Leopeng, 2019;Taylor, 2022;Tummala-Narra, 2022;Turner, 2018Turner, , 2021. Decolonisation entails the process of dismantling and deconstructing the superiority of colonial and White Eurocentric ideologies, values and ethics that imply the status quo, and acknowledging the power and importance of marginalised groups who are excluded from this privilege (Akinyela, 2002;Betts, 2012). The intersectional differences Black queer men present around race, gender and sexuality demonstrate a need for tailored support.…”

AimBlack queer men in the UK are increasingly at risk of mental health problems related to anxiety and depression, often triggered by traumatic experiences. This study explored the efficacy of integrative practice with Black queer men who experienced trauma from a decolonised, intersectional and queer‐affirming perspective.MethodOne‐to‐one semi‐structured interviews with nine integrative practitioners were completed. Data collected from these interviews were analysed using Braun and Clarke's six stages of reflexive thematic analysis (RTA).FindingsRTA identified four subordinate themes: (1) understanding the experience of Black queer men, (2) developing the working alliance and use of self in practice, (3) effective integrative practice and (4) intersectional differences and considerations. Findings discussed the varying forms of trauma Black queer male clients experienced that impacted their mental health and how developing a strong working alliance with Black queer men was crucial when supporting them to recover from trauma. Additionally, the participants described a breadth of trauma‐informed integrative counselling and coaching practice. A decolonised approach utilising the intersection of race, gender and sexuality of Black queer men was successfully integrated into the approach used by practitioners in this study.ConclusionOverall, this study evidenced that a decolonised perspective to integrative practice effectively supports Black queer men to recover from trauma. Future research should focus on an integrated approach with Black queer men and other gender and sexual ethnic minority clients who experienced trauma.

“…In Asia and Africa, capitalist penetration into the countryside was implemented through strong colonial domination, often facilitated by a captive national government acting as a client and surrogate to foreign powers (Newbury, 2000). Resistance to seizure of land and resources, and to colonialism in general, was uneven among countries (Maddox, 1993;Tussing, 2017;Chandavarkar, 1998;Bogaerts & Raben, 2012). Cities were not yet absorbing a large flow of migration from the countryside, with a consequent build-up of rural population.…”

In this chapter, we explore the forces that have shaped the current challenge of securing land tenure for those with little voice, power, and means. Focusing on the Global South, we identify trends in the ebb and flow of land tenure security and insecurity, distinguishing between those tied to agricultural-based societies and forest-dependent populations where relevant. We spotlight the broad arc of history tied to land access: the widespread acquisition of land by the powerful dating several centuries back, the partial restoration of local land access beginning in the mid-twentieth century (e.g., post-colonial governments, agricultural land reform and redistribution movements, and forest management devolution), the land-grabbing phenomenon and violence of recent years, and the current uncertainty over future directions for tenure security.

“…Though the term 'decolonisation' was coined primarily as a political term, it soon started extending into the cultural field too, "with questions of the lasting effects of colonial dominance" (Bogaerts & Raben, 2012: 2) put forward by scholars in various fields, ranging from 'Decolonising the Mind' by Ngũgĩ to 'Decolonising Theory' by Aditya Nigam. By the dictionary definition, India was decolonised 73 years ago.…”

Decolonisation of Architectural History Education in India

Architectural education in India is largely envisioned as a technical-vocational course, leading to humanities-related courses like history, to remain alienated from students as well as practitioners. History of Architecture is a core subject in Bachelor of Architecture as per regulatory guidelines, but the program level outcomes are often limited to stylistic study of standard sets of examples of monumental structures from the past. This trend can be traced back to the colonial episteme started during the British programme of instruction and is ingrained in the educational system. This study enquires into the current state of history education at the undergraduate level in architectural schools in India and examines the continuing impact of colonisation on our production of knowledge. This is done by analysing the content of the architectural history curricula of colleges in India and discussions with academic practitioners who have been teaching the subject in those institutions. Unpacking the curricula and their influences on teaching, brought out the perpetuation of colonial biases embedded in architectural history education. The study argues that a well-designed history curriculum has the potential to contextualise design education and create critically aware architects, and thus take a step towards decolonising the practice itself.
