Decolonising Europe #15: Decolonising Hellas

12/06/2021

Date: 16 June 2021

Time: 17.00 – 18.00

Organizers: Amsterdam Centre for European Studies – University of Amsterdam

What is the relationship between the Greek nation-state and Europe’s colonial genealogies? What does it mean to decolonize Hellas and why is it urgent to foreground the role of “Hellas” in co-constituting the European colonial project?

The Decolonising Europe Lecture Series (convened by Beste İşleyen and Tasniem Anwar) turns its gaze towards Greece and discusses with Nikolas Kosmatopoulos and Despina Lalaki, two of the founding members of the Decolonize Hellas initiative.
