Master's thesis, Harvard University Division of Continuing Education.29398164https://nrs.harvard.edu/URN-3:HUL.INSTREPOS:37373340Over the last couple of decades, there have been increased calls to confront the legacies of colonialism. Structures and systems that resulted from colonial-era policies and practices are being confronted through postcolonial theory as well as decolonization movements. The effects of both colonial mentality (internalized attitudes of colonialism by the colonized) and a colonial attitude (views that ascribe notions of superiority) have been researched extensively, however, literature quantifying both are sparse. The purpose of this empirical study is to identify if a colonial attitude exists among development workers, and if so, to what degree.application/pdfencolonial attitudecolonial mentalitydecolonialitydecolonizationglobal developmentglobal healthInternational relationsSocial researchSociologyThesis or Dissertation2022-10-120000-0002-1943-2677
