Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples 

The Sociological Review is delighted to announce that our 2019 Annual Lecture will be given by (University of Waikato, New Zealand) to mark the 20th year anniversary of the publication for her ground-breaking book. This will be followed by a response from (Goldsmiths, London). 

We are delighted to be announce that our 2019 Annual Lecture will be given by Professor Linda Tuhiwai Smith (University of Waikato, New Zealand). It marks the 20-year anniversary of her groundbreaking book 'Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples’, a book that remains as timely today as it was when it was first released. The continuing urgency to decolonize contemporary social science curricula and social theory demand a simultaneous decolonization of our research practices and methodologies. In this lecture, Professor Tuhiwai Smith will reflect on what has changed since the initial publication of her book and challenges ahead in continuing this important work. This will be followed by a response from Professor Yasmin Gunaratnam (Goldsmiths, London).
