Cheering up Blue Monday with poetry and radical history

Our evening of poetry with Oliver James Lomax last Thursday saw us reach our maximum limit of 100 Zoom attendees for the first time - wow.  If you were too late in trying to log on and therefore didn't get to 'attend', you can see the full event now on our YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/wcmlibrary - alongside all of our online talks from 2020.  Happy watching.
 

Le dossier consacré aux configurations des héritages féministes cherchera à mettre en évidence les héritages symboliques et matériels que reçoivent les féministes, et également les héritages qu’elles désirent léguer aux générations suivantes. Par héritage, nous entendons ce que l’on retient ou ce qui est transmis par celles qui nous précèdent, et ce, que les liens avec elles soient choisis, imposés, familiaux ou identitaires. La notion d’héritage est relationnelle, car nous considérons, à l’instar de Françoise Collin, que « la transmission n’est pas un mouvement à sens unique.

The University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE), the German Historical Institute in Washington (GHI) and the National History Center of the American Historical Association (NHC), in cooperation with the Interdisciplinary Center for Integration and Migration Research (InZentIM), the Institute for the Advanced Study in the Humanities (KWI) and the Käte Hamburger Kolleg / Centre for Global Cooperation Research (KHK/GCR21), are pleased to announce the first International Seminar in Historical Refugee Studies, which will be held at the KWI in Essen, October 12–15, 2021.

This workshop builds on, and challenges, the scholarship on the response to social disorder under Stalin by examining social control more broadly. Police purges were a massive response to social disorder, yet the question of social control was not limited to the police. In the same decade of the purges, courts and prosecutors were processing millions of cases.

The Conference will be held in Moscow on July 11–13 2021

Workshop

(May 14 and 15, 2021 – Central European University in Budapest or Online: TBA)

The exclusion of migrants and their descendants based on racism and xenophobia have a long historical tradition, particularly in the United States and Europe. Recent spike of populism and the securitization of borders highlight the urgency to discuss these topics in an intertwined and transregional perspective. Ramon Grosfoguel will address related questions in his lecture, and Julia Roth (Bielfeld University) will provide a contextual analysis of his presentation.
