The way the university has been linked to the rise of capitalism, colonialism&nbsp;and patriarchy contributed to destroying ways of knowing that do not fit European interests. This caused immense cognitive injustice. Can the universities be a site to redress such a past and contribute to a future of greater cognitive justice, conceived of as a crucial dimension of social global justice? My answer is a conditional yes. This condition requires an epistemic transition towards what I have been calling the Epistemologies of The South.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Click on the title to listen to the podcast:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Open Lecture\/Discussion with: Boaventura de Sousa Santos\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/show\/3AGw83QoE1lLO2a1RZLMbf?si=7cbd8299dc124e7b&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00ab\u03a4\u03bf \u0391\u03bc\u03c6\u03b9\u03b8\u03ad\u03b1\u03c4\u03c1\u03bf \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5 \u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03b1\u03bb\u03cc\u03b3\u03bf\u03c5\u00bb&nbsp; (\u03a6\u03b5\u03b2\u03c1\u03bf\u03c5\u03ac\u03c1\u03b9\u03bf\u03c2 2021).
