And due to your condition as inmigrant your comprehension is valuable to understand, and share experiences to construct Latinamerican design thinking. *Fernando Alberto Álvarez Romero* *PROFESOR ASOCIADO II* PROGRAMA DE DISEÑO INDUSTRIAL PBX: [log in to unmask] - Colombia On 30 June 2016 at 13:30, Rafael Fajardo <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Profesor Fernando Alberto Álvarez Romero > y los creadores de Decolonizing Design > gracias. es un esfuerzo util y necesario. > quisiera también poder expresarme em portugués > but the colonization of my thoughts as an immigrant > brought here as a very young child > forces my fluidity in english even as I try to relearn my spanish. > thank you for your energy and your effort. > > Rafael Fajardo > Associate Professor > Emergent Digital Practices > University of Denver > Colorado, USA > > de origen Colombiano > > > > On Jun 30, 2016, at 11:53 AM, Fernando Alberto Alvarez Romero < > [log in to unmask]> wrote: > > > > Professor Eduardo Corte-Real, > > > > You said : "So, to be honest, and no offense on that, decolonization is > > nothing but a buzz word in this case." > > > > It seem to me that professor, both professor Ken and you, explain > perfectly > > the origins of some globlal colonization episodes in the world.
