I developed the EtuPath Six Sense Continuum of Collective Self to study how people experience symbolic environments — from perception to transformation.

Last month I successfully completed my PhD and now carry the title Dr Odi Okaka Oquosa.
My research develops the EtuPath Six Sense Continuum of Collective Self—exploring symbols, memory and justice.

[Odi Oquosa @Odiart]

The goal is simple:
to help societies move from unconscious repetition of the past toward conscious transformation of the symbolic worlds we inhabit.

[Odi Oquosa @Odiart]

This research sits at the intersection of heritage studies, decolonial theory, African Indigenous Knowledge Systems, and public space scholarship.

[Odi Oquosa @Odiart]

Decolonisation does not always require removing symbols.
Sometimes it requires reading them differently — exposing the histories embedded in them and opening space for dialogue and repair.

[Odi Oquosa @Odiart]

Through this work I introduce two key ideas:
• Symbolic harassment — when repeated civic symbols normalise domination or erase other histories.
• Symbolic justice — when communities reinterpret those symbols to reveal truth and restore memory.

[Odi Oquosa @Odiart]

To study this, I developed the EtuPath Six Sense Continuum of Collective Self — a framework that examines how people perceive, absorb, interpret, and transform symbolic environments.

[Odi Oquosa @Odiart]

My research argues that many of these symbols are not neutral.
They are part of what I call symbolic infrastructures of empire — visual systems that normalise power long after empire formally ended.

[Odi Oquosa @Odiart]

Cities are full of symbols — statues, crests, monuments, emblems, architectural motifs.
We often pass them without noticing, yet they quietly structure how history is remembered and who is recognised.

[Odi Oquosa @Odiart]

My research explores how public symbols shape memory, power, and belonging.

NHS England's boss says the public want the £350m promised to the NHS by Vote Leave during the EU referendum to be "honoured".
