Webinar on Roots: Unearthing Race, Landscapes, and Ancestors
January 26, 15:30 – 17:30 CET
Location: online
In this webinar, we will explore ways to break open static and racist notions of roots. How can we understand people’s meaningful and lasting attachments to ancestors, communities, and living landscapes without falling back on nativist tropes? Can roots also be mobilized for inclusive or emancipatory politics and activism? Can it provide an avenue for recognizing and honoring the thick connections that tie us to other lifeforms and people, including those who have gone before us?
Speakers: Dallas Tomah | Matija Miličić | Gerwin van Schie | Maike Melles
Discussant: Willy Sier
