Resumen
This essay explores questions pertaining to who has had and has the power to define who is human and what it means to be human, and the way higher education is but one of the role-players that define humanity and what it means to be human. It also examines the potential of decoloniality as an alternative and critical onto-epistemology which is essential for (re)claiming and (re)building humanity. Further pointers for consideration are addressed such as rethinking, epistemic disobedience, entrapment of knowledge production, among others.

Cet essai explore des questions ayant trait à ceux qui ont détenu et détiennent le pouvoir de définir qui est humain et à ce que cela signifie d’être humain. En outre, il examine la manière dont l’éducation supérieure n’est que l’un des facteurs qui déterminent l’humanité et ce que cela signifie d’être humain. Il analyse aussi le potentiel de la décolonialité comme une épistémologie alternative critique aussi essentielle pour ré(clamer) et re(construire) l’humanité. Il fait état de considérations spécifiques supplémentaires telles que repenser, la désobéissance épistémique, le piège de la production de connaissances, entre autres. Este ensaio explora perguntas sobre quem teve e tem o poder de definir que é humano e sobre o que significa ser humano; além disso, explora a maneira pela qual o ensino superior é apenas um dos agentes que definem a humanidade e o que significa ser humano. Este ensaio também explora o potencial de descolonialidade enquanto seja alternativa e onto-epistemologia crítica e enquanto seja essencial para (re) clamar e (re) construir humanidade. Faz-se menção a considerações específicas adicionais como repensar, a desobediência epistémica, cobrir a produção do conhecimento.
