Beyond the Shadow of Colonialism
How do we move beyond the shadow of colonialism? This month, English Plus is tackling this complex question not by focusing on blame, but by exploring solutions for the future.
We’re diving deep into the systems and stories that shape our world. We’ll ask:
How can we build true economic independence and climate justice?
How is cultural repatriation building new, respectful partnerships?
How can we move from cultural appropriation to ethical collaboration?
How do we reclaim our identity, free from the “authenticity” trap?
Join us for a full month of new podcast episodes, insightful magazine article, listening comprehension special posts, brand-new fiction, and quizzes all dedicated to understanding our past so we can, together, build a more equitable future.
