This special edition of the ValEUs Lecture Series includes three sessions from the conference “In But Not of Europe: The Europe of Postcolonial Concern”, organised at Rutgers University. The YouTube video below includes chapters and time stamps for individual sessions.
Taking its title from Stuart Hall’s essay, the conference addressed some of the most pressing issues facing Europe today—migration, the rise of the far right, and the contradictory responses to the wars in Ukraine and Gaza—putting Postcolonial Studies and European Studies, as well as humanities, social sciences and policy, in dialogue. Speakers include Dipesh Chakrabarty, Hans Kundnani, Peo Hansen, Mohammed Bamyeh, József Böröcz, Ousseina Alidou, Zakia Salime, Randall Halle and Sadia Abbas.
