More information about this event:

How does one ‘know’ the Caribbean? ‘Knowing’ in a (post)colonial context has historically relied on a narrow and exclusive set of ways and methods of claiming ‘legitimate’ knowledge. To decolonize scientific research therefore means to interrogate the colonial roots of who can claim to know, according to whose and which terms. What implications does this interrogation have for understanding human and non-human experiences of climate change in the Caribbean from social science and humanities perspectives?

Speakers:
Francio Guadeloupe (KITLV), Sharelly Emanuelson (KITLV), Wayne Modest (Wereldmuseum), Yina Jimenez Suriel, Charissa Granger (The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine), Aga Kus (KITLV/TU Delft) & Sony Jean (KITLV/Leiden University)
