Commentary: Decolonizing Methodologies 15 years later

Abstract

The following commentary is based on discussant remarks in response to a lecture given by Linda Tuhiwai Smith in New York in April this year. The lecture anticipated/commemorated the 15th anniversary of Smith's Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples, published in 1999 by Zed Books. It also marked the release of the second edition of Decolonizing Methodologies in 2012. The lecture took place on the traditional homelands of Lenee Lenape peoples—land called Manahatta, now called Manhattan—at The Graduate Center of The City University of New York.
