Over the past five centuries, empires have used partition and division to justify and advance colonialism. We can see that ongoing history of colonial rule and racial violence exploding around the world today—from Palestine to Minnesota and beyond.
Join us at this one-day symposium where scholars and activists will gather to engage in conversations about anticolonial struggles of the past and the present. How might we forge diasporic imaginaries and solidarity movements to contest the colonial world order toward collective liberation?
The symposium will include a keynote address by Adam Hanieh of SOAS, University of London (UK), who has been selected to deliver a Walker-Ames public lecture. He is the MBI Jaber Chair in Development Studies and the Director of the Middle East Institute at SOAS, University of London. His research focuses on oil and capitalism, energy transitions, and the political economy of the Middle East.
