Symposium: Racialized Geo-graphies – De/Colonial Knowledge

Actuvirtual Symposium at the Johannesburg Institute for Advanced Study

This actuvirtual symposium follows our last symposium – Epistemic, Institutional and Algorithmic Rac[e]ism and Sex/ism. It attends to how migration from certain countries in Africa, Asia as well as Haiti to Colombia and then to the militarized Mexico/US border is tangled with racialized geo-graphies, belonging and identification. And, to how racism operates within the colonial knowledge that exploits the ecology, dispossesses collectivities, and shapes the political and legal condition for who – “Black or White” – can be displaced and who has rights in the post-industrial Detroit.
