Abstract
In this conversational article, we consider cultivating decoloniality in university education by drawing upon Jacques Ranci ere�s (2010) notion of a living philosophy. Ranci ere�s (2010) living philosophy holds the possibility of both a medium and a space for a re-thinking and a re-contemplation of what life is in relation to what it might be. Through engaging and sharing real human experiences from and within African societies and universities, we (re)imagine decoloniality as a fiction brought to life through a living philosophy of education. In this regard, we proffer eight points of departure and reflection.
