‘Dekolonisering, gericht op het veranderen van de orde van de wereld, is een programma van totale wanorde.’ Woorden van de legendarische Martinikaans-Franse psychiater, filosoof en revolutionair Frantz Fanon.

Koen Bogaert opent er zijn boek mee. Want wat als je consequent dekoloniseert? Dekolonisering is geen eenvoudig stappenplan dat je even implementeert. Het is in de eerste plaats een sociale en intellectuele strijd, een revolutionair project zelfs, dat start met de radicale verbeelding van een totaal nieuwe samenleving.

Op 7 februari stelt Mo* het voor in De Expeditie, Dok-Noord 4/F, Gent. Neslihan Dogan modereert. Panel: Sibo Kanobana, Philsan Osman en Koen Bogaert.

ENLIGHT Global Dialogues

During three sessions in January and February student organisations from across the world share their experiences in projects promoting sustainability in their community or campus.

In each session four student organisations will present their projects followed by a joint discussion on student engagement, creating projects and impact. All sessions are moderated by students from the ENLIGHT Student Network.

We hope many (international) students will participate, as this will make the dialogue more interesting.

Podcast with Dr. Olivia Umurerwa Rutazibwa

The new episode of the Justice Visions podcast is the last episode of the mini-series on historical truth-seeking initiatives in the (post-)colonial state.

In this episode we zoom out from the particular truth initiatives in European countries, to discuss some of the overarching topics and themes crossing across the episodes of this series.

Our guest is Dr Olivia Umurerwa Rutazibwa, an assistant Professor in Human Rights and Politics at the London School of Economics. We talk about the capacities of historical truth-seeking initiatives to contribute to the decolonisation project, accountability, and ultimately contribute to social change.
