Upcoming Events: Spring 2023

May 17 (Weds): noon-1pm: International Speaker Series: Suriname

Jonneke Koomen (Willamette University): Labor and Listening in Suriname: Anticolonial Archives and Afterlives

This talk explores the work of labor organizer and poet Anton De Kom, based on his book about Dutch colonial rule from the vantage point of those who sought to overthrow it. De Kom’s efforts to uncover the resistance of enslaved people in Suriname (formerly known as Dutch Guyana), as well as ongoing scholar-activism to recover and reclaim anticolonial archives in the Netherlands, Suriname and beyond will be discussed.

The talk is past but the session was recorded, and Powerpoint slides are posted. See the links on the Speakers page.
