Hi, thanks for reaching out ! Your research sounds really interesting - and not being a professional researcher doesn't prevent you from submitting an abstract if you do have a paper that speaks to the symposium themes 😉

Huge thanks to @spaceforpeace.bsky.social for sharing our CfP!
We’re truly humbled by the many wonderful abstracts we’re receiving and can’t wait to engage in the inspiring conversations the symposium will spark.
💌 Still 3 days left to apply in case you haven't done so! ⬇️

My colleague, friend, and fantastic researcher @giulianofleri.bsky.social has written a touching piece on the forgotten tragedy of migrant deaths in the Mediterranean. Check it out ⬇️

📢‼️ Last two weeks to apply for our Symposium on (De)Colonial Solidarities!

Don't hesitate to send us an abstract if you are working on this topic - or to share this call with someone who is.

We look forward to seeing you in Turku ✈️🇫🇮

It's been a wonderful year, filled with field trips and meaningful encounters with scholars and activists.

An insightful piece from @giulianofleri.bsky.social, straight from Lampedusa (and featuring some great photos!)

It uses archival research, oral history interviews, and literary analysis, and engages the boundaries between academic research and political activism as it strives to contribute to today’s struggles for a decolonial present.

The project focuses on white-led organizations for the rights of Native North Americans across the US, Canada and Western Europe between the 1960s and the 1990s.

Bringing together the frameworks of critical whiteness studies, settler colonial studies, and indigenous studies, the project investigates the role that structures of colonialism and whiteness have played in shaping solidarity efforts and the assumptions underlying them.

Titled “White Solidarity and Native North American Rights in the United States, Canada and Western Europe, 1960s-1990s”, the project interrogates the challenges of building solidarity across racialized and colonial power relations.

📣 Thrilled to announce that I joined a new research project led by wonderful @reettaeh.bsky.social at UTU🇫🇮 (more info in comments ⬇️)
