1. Unique challenges in measuring social movements; and techniques to capture their fluid and dynamic nature; and ideas to align measurement practices with collectivization values and objectives
2. Attempt towards building anti-colonial epistemology in a contemporary debated on corporate due diligence.
A facilitated discussion will explore key takeaways for current decolonisation journeys.
