Webnair series: differential doings, europes in margins Opening Session
Join us on September 17th for the opening session of the webinar series differential doings, europes in margins hosted by Jody Metcalfe (Re/Presenting Europe, Utrecht University) and Kolar Aparna (EuroStorie, Unviersity of Helsinki).
The webinar is part of ongoing public engagement around our upcoming edited volume, with the same title. The collection builds on the calls of Black, decolonial, anti-apartheid feminist praxis for dismantling dominant modes of representation across modern disciplines needed for emancipating the categories of marginality from the registers of object, commodity, and the researched other.
The webinars aim to provoke debate, initiate transformative and transdisciplinary ways of being, doing and knowing amongst students, transnational communities and research/artistic networks.
We are excited to announce a wonderful line up of speakers/scholars/artists/thinkers/makers from across locations who will be engaged in conversations that hold space for knowledges otherwise erased as part of the violence of wars, genocide, occupation and settler colonial modalities affecting our present. We invite you all to join us in doing this work.
Date: 17th September 2025
Time: 15:30-17:00 (Dutch time)
