Rethinking colonial memory – conference

This conference explores how colonial histories continue to remain deeply embedded in the structures of today’s crises, shaping geopolitical conflicts, patterns of violence, systemic inequalities, and struggles for justice. It aims to critically engage with the intersections of colonial memory and historical narratives in relation to the pressing political and ethical dilemmas of our time.

Key themes include:

  • How contemporary wars and geopolitical conflicts revive and reshape colonial narratives?

  • The role of memory and historical responsibility in today’s political polarization

  • Decolonization in the face of climate crisis and environmental destruction

  • The place of reparative justice in an era of democratic erosion and global inequality

  • How can memory become an active force for justice in times of global crisis?
