Short summary:
This document’s inconsistencies in the spelling of “decolonization/ decolonisation” and other words and expressions is intentional. Diverse spelling reflects the fact that decolonial thinking and action - and in this very project - involves participants coming from a variety of backgrounds, often non-native English users, and involved in questioning anglicism as a colonial legacy itself. Editing for ‘consistency’ would silence and erase the diverse and inclusive participation that is critically needed by the decolonial movement in order to be successful. Hopefully, you can value this choice of inclusive representation, and consider the mild disruption in your reading-flow as disrupting a pattern of domination!
