Georgetown University’s international relations school champions a theory originally proposed for revolutionary violence.
The Georgetown Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service “was founded in 1919…to prepare the U.S. to engage on the global stage and has been preparing future leaders to make the world safer, more equitable, more prosperous, and more peaceful ever since,” according to its website.
The school offers an “Inclusionary Developmental Series,” the aim of which is to “increase awareness of perpetual colonialism in international development and convene on different topics towards decolonizing the study and practice of international development.”
The Catholic university’s SFS recently offered a course called “Decolonizing Global Health,” taught by Professors Emily Mendenhall and Claire Standley, which “studied how systemic racism and neocolonialism operate within the sphere of public health,” the school’s website stated.
