Description
Summary:Postcolonializing role play represents a pedagogical strategy in pastoral theology to support emerging communal-contextual and intercultural paradigms. This article reviews the pedagogical function of role play within pastoral theology. Postcolonializing role play is then situated within a larger project of decolonizing theological education. The article describes two examples of postcolonializing role play from the author's pastoral theology pedagogy. Finally, the author proposes four questions and subsequent practices for debriefing postcolonializing role play in order to empower more liberative pastoral theology pedagogy.
