Post- and Decolonial Approaches: Theoretical Perspectives and Insights for Work and Organisations

Europeanization as Global Entanglement

hybrid event

22nd June 4:00-5:30 pm

Prof. Dr. Manuela Boatca (Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg) & Dr. Fabio Santos (Freie Universität Berlin)

"Europeanization as Global Entanglement"

Venue: KLE 01 EG 5, hybrid

“Drawing on critical scholarship on Europeanization and on post- and decolonial approaches, this lecture connects some of the ties cut by dominant political and academic discourse by asking a series of provocative questions: How does the fact that four of the six founding members of the EEC held substantial colonies across the world at the time of its creation in 1957 factor into Europeanization? How has the ongoing control exercised by the EU and its member states over territories in Africa and across the world shaped discourses of Europeanness? And how is this extra-European history related to questioning the Europeanness of non-Western, (semi-)peripheral European spaces like ‘the Balkans’ or to denying it to EU overseas territories in the Caribbean altogether?”

Lecture Series

“Post- and Decolonial Approaches: Theoretical Perspectives and Insights for Work and Organisations”

Summer Term 2022

Faculty of Society and Economics

Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences

(on campus / hybrid)

The lecture series aims to give insights into post- and decolonial theories and research, opening up a critical view on organisations as a main site and mode of societal reproduction in postindustrial economies. Based on these, we want to discuss basic concepts such as cooperation and inclusion, intersectionality, and global entanglement and insights we can gain for work and organizations. The lecture series is part of the module „Organisation Studies“ in the study program Gender and Diversity, B.A., taught by Prof. Dr. Ingrid Jungwirth.

The lectures take place in a hybrid format on campus in Kleve (KLE 01 EG 5) and are open to all students and staff of Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences as well as to an audience external to the university.
