February 10, 2023
3:08 pm - 4:08 pm
Mershon Center, Derby Hall 1039

This is the first of two seminars funded by the Global Arts + Humanities Discovery Theme highlighting the transformations, challenges, and opportunities which emerge from working in archives in (and on) recently decolonized African states.

The two speakers will share insights from their experiences working in the National Archives of Zimbabwe as a researcher and archivist, respectively. The seminar will reflect on the ways in which the legacies of colonialism continue to shape the National Archives of Zimbabwe and historical research on the country.

Cumulatively, this speaker series seeks to illuminate a pathway in which scholars and archivists can imaginatively pursue scholarship beyond the confines of imperial archives.

Pizza and soft drinks will be provided.
