The program’s theme for the 10-month academic year 2024-25 will be “Colonial Residues.” Colonialism is commonly invoked now as the primary cause of global imbalance or, in some startling cases, nostalgic delight.
Colonialialism’s many impacts are pervasive in both “new” and “old” states, with traces often tangible and measurable, shaping political regimes and socioeconomic wellbeing while also determining whose stories are told and by whom; whose achievements are celebrated and how; and whose resources are used, removed, or polluted.
Even though they are not immediately visible, colonial leftovers, including microplastics, are presumably present.
