| Content | The Research Colloquium addresses current debates in Namibian and Southern African Studies and provides a forum for conversations between students and local and international scholars, artists and activists. While the regional focus is programmatic, the colloquium offers multiple opportunities to reflect on the talks and presentations, and situate them in broader scholarly, cultural, institutional, and public debates in the Global South and the African diasporas in Switzerland and across Europe. The course is offered in partnership with the School of Humanities, Society and Development at the University of Namibia and the Basler Afrika Bibliographien in Basel. In doing so, the colloquium commits itself to nurture an intellectual milieu and knowledge practice that transcends rigid institutional and symbolic boundaries between the university and society, the Global South and North, and creative work across disciplines, fields, and practices. The colloquium is open to students from all levels and is to guests from within and beyond the university. A hybrid format guarantees the participation of partners in Southern Africa and participants across institutions, geographies, and walks of life. Participants at the University of Basel are required to attend in person. |
| Comments | A hybrid setting accommodates the participation of partners at universities in the South. Participants at the University of Basel are required to be present on site. |
