Multiversity
A brave initiative to rid the continents of Eurocentric biases in university studies. The dependence on Western academia ensures intellectual slavery that is unending and unnatural. Multiversity challenges scholars, teachers and students to bring colour back into academic studies, design their own curricula, write and read their own texts and invent their own methodologies. A challenging task, but neither unrealistic nor impossible.
