Decades of the critique of Eurocentrism and Orientalism in the social sciences have refined our understanding of the various theoretical and epistemological problems that beset the process of knowledge production. Less, however, has been achieved by way of the actual creation of alternative or decolonial options in knowledge production, owing to the persistence of intellectual imperialism and academic dependency. This presentation discusses what knowledge in the decolonial mode may look like and what factors continue to obstruct or retard the growth of alternative discourses in the social sciences.

數十年來，針對社會科學領域的歐洲中心主義和東方主義的批評，已重新定義我們對知識生產過程中各種理論上和認識上的問題理解。不過，由於知識帝國主義和學術從屬性的持續存在，實際創造另類或去殖民的替代論述，在知識生產領域依然鮮見。本演講將討論去殖民知識模式的可能方向，探討持續阻滯社會科學領域發展另類論述的因素。
