Webinar seriers 7 ‘differential doings, europes in margins’
We are excited to invite you to the sixth session of our webinar series, differential doings, europes in margins. Registration for the webinar series remains open.
This session brings together Giti Chandra (University of Iceland) in conversation with Kolar Aparna (University of Helsinki)
This session will think through the processes, pains, and pleasures of a four-year project on mapping the state of decoloniality of curricula in the Nordic region with special emphasis on the University of Iceland. It will include insights from extensive discussions with faculty, researchers, and students regarding pedagogy and curriculum building, and finally, offer a brief reading of the theme of madness and collective identity formation through 19th century European fiction.
Date: 26 November 2025
Time: 15:30-17:00 (Dutch time)/16:30-18:00 (Helsinki time)/14:30-16:00 (Icelandic time).
