It’s time universities walk their decolonial talk

I am still unclear how ""chip, chip chipping away” at hierarchical structures of knowing" helps to "build alternative worlds and sustainable futures" in a university context. If one person knows more than someone else, is there not a hierarchy? If no-one knows more than anyone else, what is the point of the university?

I'm sure the writer's heart is in the right place. However, I have to say that I'm having difficulty with the idea that "pipeline" is an offensive term. Surely pipelines are, in themselves, morally neutral, and those who protest against a particular pipeline may quite happily enjoy the benefits of pipelines in other contexts. I for one am quite happy to have pipelines to bring me fresh water and carry away foul. In any case, if these protesters object to the term, presumably they can speak for themselves rather than having the writer take offence on their behalf.
