[PAST EVENT] German Colonial Legacies and Decolonial Activism: A Conversation with Professor Fatima El-Tayeb
Location
Zoom (email [[decolonizing]] for the link)
How do legacies of colonialism continue to shape German conceptions of race and national belonging? What might decolonial strategies focused on Europe look like, and what roles might European activists and artists of color play? Join us for a discussion of Professor El-Tayeb's research on these questions and more.
Dr. Fatima El-Tayeb is Professor of Ethnicity, Race & Migration and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Yale University. Her work deconstructs structural racism in “colorblind” Europe and centers strategies of resistance among racialized communities. In addition to numerous articles, she is the author of UnGerman. The Construction of Otherness in the Postmigrant Society (Transcript 2016), European Others. Queering Ethnicity in Postnational Europe (University of Minnesota Press 2011) and Black Germans.
