With the launch of 'Dutch Colonial Slavery and Its Afterlives: 2025-2035 Research Agenda' Rose Mary Allen, Esther Captain, Matthias van Rossum and Urwin Vyent will be looking at possible avenues for future research into Dutch colonial slavery and its afterlives.

Following last June's publication of State and Slavery Rose Mary Allen, Esther Captain, Matthias van Rossum and Urwin Vyent have formulated a Research Agenda to guide future research into Dutch colonial slavery and its afterlives. The Research Agenda will be published in three languages: Dutch, English and Papiamentu. To celebrate this an insightfull afternoon will be organised in Nijmegen.

The launch will be presented by Nancy Jouwe. With reflections on the Rearch Agenda (among others by Luc Alofs, Aruba), interviews with academics from different disciplines and a dance performance (Farida Nabibaks). The main language will be Dutch.

The Research Agenda makes suggestions for themes that have so far remained underexposed, but which, based on debates in science and society, can be expected to demand more attention in the near future. You can find more information on the Research Agenda here.
