Abstract | Higher education institutions, doctoral scholars and advisors are increasingly turning to decolonising theories as way to interrogate dominant knowledge production practices. While this theoretical paradigm enables scholars to ask questions around who has benefited from research, the scholarship is constrained by conceptual limitations often left unexamined. This chapter examines the decolonising doctoral education movement, mapping the opportunities and limitations for those wanting to engage with colonialism’s aftermath, and outlines alternatives for doctoral students wanting to move beyond decolonising paradigms. By engaging with a broader range of theoretical tools, we argue that possibilities exist for doctoral students to contribute to a scholarship that can navigate the legacy of colonial knowledge production without becoming trapped by or trying to escape these legacies. |
