Decolonising the Mind: Theory and Practice, presentation by Sandew Hira

What does decolonizing the university mean? Is it about representation of people of color in the faculty of the university? Is it about representation of voices that have not been heard in academia? Is it something else?

Sandew Hira, author of the 600 page book Decolonizing The Mind - a Guide to Decolonial Theory and Practice, discusses this question in his lecture at UWC.

Friday, 13 October 15:00 - 16:00 BST
Queen Mary University of London, GO Jones Lecture Theatre

Harold Nicolson and Vita Sackville-West in 1920s Berlin: politics and love affairs

In 1927, Harold Nicolson was posted to Berlin as a diplomat, much to the despair of his wife, Vita Sackville-West. Already a fluent German speaker, Harold found the politics ‘enthralling’. Vita couldn’t stand diplomatic life and found Berlin ‘dreary’. Nevertheless, she made friends with a circle of liberated, creative women and had an affair with one of them, the American-German writer Margaret Goldsmith. Vita also entered a deeply creative period of her own, translating the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke, and starting work on her bestselling novel The Edwardians. After leaving Berlin, Harold entered politics and became known as an expert on Germany. He spoke out powerfully against appeasement and used his political connections to help German friends who were the victims of early N**i oppression.

Kathryn Batchelor is Professor of Translation Studies at UCL and co-curated the exhibition ‘Affairs in Berlin: Harold in Germany, Vita in Love’, which ran from September 2022 to February 2023 at Sissinghurst Castle Garden (National Trust).

Catalan Media, Past and Present: Press, TV, Radio and Other News Outlets⁠
⁠
Do Catalan newspapers have a unique point of view not represented elsewhere in the Spanish press and ignored abroad? Has this always been the case historically? Is it possible to specify a particular style of Catalan TV or radio? How are the journalists of the Països Catalans using twenty-first-century media? And how does Catalan journalism compare with the profession in other European countries or the US?⁠
⁠
Join us for a day of discussion, analysis and comparison on the Catalan media with speakers from Catalonia, Valencia, Mallorca, Ireland, Wales, and Germany: Dr Richard Huddleson (Maynooth University), Dr J. Àngel Cano (Universitat de València), Dr Christopher D. Tulloch (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona), Vicent Partal (VilaWeb), Dr John Geraint (Welsh director), Craig Willis (European Centre for Minority Issues), Cristòfol Tripiana (QMUL), Sergi Forcada (BBC), Ainhoa Paredes (Mediaset) and Coia Ballesté (CCMA).⁠

Wars Within Wars: Black History’s Warning to the World

The past several years have witnessed transatlantic efforts to deny and disparage Black perspectives on our common history. This is a denial of our right to critically analyse all of our history from points of view that emerge from a history of enslavement, impoverishment, and racial violence, and that question the customary disavowal that these things constitute fundamental features of the Atlantic experience. Reframing narratives of the Age of Revolution, this lecture highlights the ways in which Black history is world history, and as such it has lessons – and warnings – for the world.

Vincent Brown is Charles Warren Professor of American History and Professor of African and African American Studies at Harvard University. He is the author of The Reaper's Garden: Death and Power in the World of Atlantic Slavery (2008) and Tacky's Revolt: The Story of an Atlantic Slave War (2020). He is also the producer of Herskovits at the Heart of Blackness (2009), an audiovisual documentary broadcast on the PBS series Independent Lens, and the short video series The Bigger Picture (2022) for PBS Digital Studios.

Its International Literacy Day!

Since 1967, International Literacy Day (ILD) celebrations have taken place annually around the world to remind the public of the importance of literacy as a matter of dignity and human rights, and to advance the literacy agenda towards a more literate and sustainable society.

Despite steady progress made across the world, literacy challenges persist with at least 763 million young people and adults lacking basic literacy skills in 2020. The recent COVID-19 crisis and other crisis, such as climate change and conflicts, have been exacerbating the challenges.
