SUMMARY:Master Class 1.2: Practice
DESCRIPTION:A postcolonial perspective on epistemic harm and the indigeneit
 y of social scientific theories\nSocial scientific theories still often as
 sume that they have extensive cross-cultural explanatory power\, or at lea
 st that they adequately reflect their own culturally limited scope. It is 
 also usually assumed that the successful worldwide dissemination of theori
 es developed primarily in Western countries is a strong indicator of their
  universal quality and validity. In this master class\, we will take an al
 ternative and especially postcolonial critical look at these assumptions. 
 By reflecting on the crucial role of the social sciences in the context of
  European colonialism and imperialism\, we will explore the extent to whic
 h contemporary hegemony of Western social science is the result of a delib
 erate and often racially motivated devaluation and exclusion of non-Wester
 n knowledge. In addition\, we want to explore the question of what harm th
 is hitherto little-noticed European science policy has done not only to th
 e self-image and psyche of the colonized subjects\, but also to the projec
 t of a serious and well-founded social science itself.\n\nSpeaker:\nPradee
 p Chakkarath is an Indian-born cultural and social psychologist at the Ruh
 r University Bochum\, Germany. Together with Jürgen Straub\, he is Co-Dir
 ector of the Hans Kilian and Lotte Köhler Center (KKC) for Cultural Psych
 ology and Historical Anthropology. Since 2021\, he has been Vice President
  of the German Society for Cultural Psychology. He is also fellow alumnus 
 of the former Center of Excellence\, an Institute for Advanced Study at th
 e University of Konstanz\, Germany.  He is\, together with Christian Gude
 hus\, Co-Founder of the international Journal of Hostility\, Anger\, Repre
 ssion\, and Malice (HARM). He is also Co-Editor of the German-language jou
 rnal psychosozial and editorial board member of numerous international jou
 rnals. His main interests concern – from an interdisciplinary perspectiv
 e – human development and the history and methodology of the social scie
 nces. He is particularly interested – from a postcolonial perspective 
 – in psychology and so-called indigenous traditions of discussing\, expl
 aining\, and understanding psychological phenomena.
