The purpose of this paper is to discuss the theoretical and methodological implications of an "affective assemblage" approach in the study and practice of decolonizing "the University" in Europe. In particular, the analysis aims to better account for the affective dimensions of decolonizing "the University" in Europe, taking into consideration that neither "the University" in Europe assumes a monolithic institution nor "decolonization" constitutes a monolithic project. Although the paper is theoretical, it provides examples of the meaning and function of decolonizing "the University" in various settings within the European higher education context. The paper contributes to the critical problematics of ongoing efforts to decolonize universities in Europe by exploring the prospects of affective assemblages as a working concept that helps education theorists, researchers, and policymakers in European higher education come to terms with both the intellectual and affective demands of decolonization processes.
