Dr. Riyad A. Shahjahan is a faculty member in higher, adult and lifelong education. His areas of expertise are in globalization and higher education, teaching and learning in higher education (focusing on anti- oppressive and embodied pedagogy), equity and social justice and anti/postcolonial theory.
His recent publication, Global competition, coloniality, and the geopolitics of knowledge in higher education (Shahjahan & Morgan, 2016) examines how the scholarship on global higher education competition have largely failed to address how global spaces of equivalence are tied both to coloniality and to the competition fetish.
