The authors of this article are from Malawi and the United States, and they worked collaboratively to explore the impact of colonialization on physiotherapy education and research in their respective locations, and to discuss the similarities and contextual differences. Decolonializing physiotherapy education and research must begin by identifying how colonialization currently manifests within the profession. The purpose of this article is to spark discussion about colonialization in physiotherapy education and research. Although decolonialization literature specific to physiotherapy is limited, the literature gathered about physiotherapy and other health professions prompted generative discussion and reflection among the authors. These discussions and reflections led to student-driven recommendations that are outlined in this article and could be included in the decolonialization efforts in physiotherapy. We propose that reflecting on how colonialism has influenced physiotherapy education and research could lead to international collaborations that support decolonialization in physiotherapy. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
