Confronting Hierarchies: A Podcast on Decoloniality, Peace, and Conflict

Arnold Bergstraesser Institute / Postcolonial Hierarchies Project

Sciences

Fréquence : 1 épisode/124j. Total Éps: 7

Peace and conflict studies is a burgeoning field. Yet, it still needs to tackle the legacies of colonialism and its hierarchies; the historical trajectories of conflicts and their embeddedness in global entanglements. In the six episodes of the podcast, we question dominant narratives in dialogue with a diversity of voices within and beyond academia and critically engage with theories and research practices. Join us in our journey of confronting hierarchies.

Épisode 3

vendredi 11 octobre 2024 • Durée 01:26:05

In Episode 3, we will explore what it means to challenge (post)colonial hierarchies in the classroom together with Amya Agarwal and Swati Parashar. The classroom is a space which can serve to promote critical thinking, a space that not only provides the possibility of reimagining the fundamentals of academic disciplines but that also allows for critical students and radical scholarship to emerge and thrive.

In the past, she has held teaching positions in the University of Delhi, South Asian University, University of Freiburg and University College Freiburg.

Episode 5 - Postcolonial Europes.

Épisode 5

mardi 22 avril 2025 • Durée 01:05:13

Episode 5 is an invitation to shift the gaze and think about Europe as a postcolonial space. Together with Miguel Cardina and Gerlov van Engelenhoven, we delve into the implications that colonialism has had (and continues to have) on Europe’s identities and current realities, as well as contestations thereof. We also address the issue of (post)colonial memory, exploring both its meaning and its relevance for what is commonly assumed to make Europe “Europe”.

He was an European Research Council (ERC) Grantee - project: «CROME - Crossed Memories, Politics of Silence. The Colonial-Liberation Wars in Postcolonial Times» (2017-2023). He is the author or co-author of several books, book chapters or papers on colonialism, anticolonialism and the colonial wars; political ideologies in the sixties and seventies; and the dynamics between history and memory.

Episode 6 - Confronting Genocide. German Colonialism and African Struggles for Justice

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

jeudi 16 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:01:07

In Episode 6, we talk with transnational activist and poet, Jephta Nguherimo about his work for restorative justice and reparations for the German genocide against the Ovaherero and Nama peoples in today’s Namibia. Jephta is part the Ovaherero tribe and will throughout the conversation share insights from decades of fighting for justice both through court rooms, art and poetry. Together, we will touch upon the historical trajectories of reparations, the bigger and smaller success, and everything there still is to fight for. The challenges are still many, and up until today only some people are invited to the table of negotiations meanwhile, German civil society’s awareness of the country’s colonial past remains small. Staytuned to hear why Jeptha nevertheless continues to fight with optimism for what the future and new generations have to bring.

Jephta U. Nguherimo is a reparation activist, poet and a former professional labor negotiator of Herero-descent based in Washington D.C.
