Biographical details

Injairu is a decolonial scholar, writer, musician and trickster practitioner that is learning how to alchemise binary based logics towards a paradigm of non- duality. She is interested in fugitive ways of re-imagining and re-sourcing the ambit and lived practice of decolonial love and a paradigm of peace. Her current work focuses of dancing with the decolonial impulse in ways that proliferate regenerative futures by whatever creative means necessary. Her pedagogical experiments include musical inquiries bent on attuning to and singing out the transgressive learning and rising cultures of African Change Drivers currently underway. She is a senior lecturer at the Environmental Learning Research centre, in the Department of Educational Futures at Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网, South Africa.

Teaching & Learning

I accompany (“khapa”) and create sanctuary for the amazing scholars within the Environmental Learning Research Centre and more broadly within the greater department of Educational Futures.  I am interested in creating spaces where new paradigms of educational research can flourish and thrive.
