CfP: Minorities and the Making of Postcolonial Europe

Workshop, May 6, 2024 - May 7, 2024, Geneva

The Pierre Du Bois Foundation supports the organization of workshops dedicated to PhD candidates and early-career scholars researching phenomena of the recent past and recent historiographical developments. This year's workshop will study migratory routes from ex-imperial colonies to Europe after the Second World War. In particular, the event aims to put in conversation colonized subjects and ex-imperial states to disentangle their mutual interactions. The ultimate target of the workshop is to deepen our current understanding of how state practices of decolonization and minorities' strategies of resettlement respectively interacted with each other. We welcome, in particular, proposals concerning decolonization strategies, migration policies, and cultural/political/social activism of immigrant communities.

Deadline for the submission of proposals: February 28th, 2024. See the CfP attached for further details.
