Decolonial perspectives on race, gender, sexuality and class
25-26 November 2021, 3-7pm GMT (4-8pm CET, 5-9pm EET) via Zoom.
Free to attend but ticketed.
EVENT DESCRIPTION:
Questions about the position of Central and Eastern Europe in relation to European and global geographies continue to be relevant and is attracting increasing scholarly interest. In recent years theoretical insights from postsocialist, postcolonial, postdependence and decolonial thinkers have enriched academic discussions and contributed to the pushback of the epistemic marginalisation of Central and Eastern Europe. In migration studies, critical discussions around coloniality and racism are overdue.
