Department of Social Policy Annual Lecture
Reconceptualising African migrations towards decolonial futures
Wednesday 30 October 2024, 6.30pm-8.00pm, Sheikh Zayed Theatre, Cheng Kin Ku Building
This Lecture challenges the persistence of coloniality in policy making on intra-Africa migration.
Drawing on the now extensive critique of the hegemony of coloniality/Euro-American modernity in the production of international migration/refugee regimes and policies, the Lecture discusses how global policy making contributes to the dehumanisation, protracted displacement, enslavement, and deaths of Africans who move, and asks why should African mobility be a problem at home and abroad and what are the alternatives for decolonial/rehumanising futures.
Speaker: Professor Patricia Daley (University of Oxford)
Chair: Professor Coretta Phillips (LSE)
