CHENNAI (INDIA)

Learnnovators, a leading e-learning company in India, has published “Hegemony, Generational Profiling and Ageism” as the latest edition of their blog post.

In this two-part article, Mridula, their Principal Learning Consultant, explores the problematic effects of cultural hegemony in audience profiling, and how it limits solutioning capability. In this first part, she discusses two popularly used constructs: generational profiling and ‘digital natives’!

Here’s an excerpt from the post:

“The power of hegemony is that even something with very limited applicability can be packaged as ‘universal’. You want to explore decolonizing instructional design? Start here with how we define, analyze and characterize people. It is a necessary act of epistemic rebellion to stop using these generational categorizations to describe our learners, as if these have any kind of universal validity.”
