The series
With the #BLM debates, and other anti-racism protests, the discussion about the decolonization of aid got an impulse. Blogs, panel discussions (sometimes very heated) and Tweets stumbled over one another. We witnessed many statements and opinions, but perhaps not so much common ground to proceed from.
KUNO, Partos, and The Institute of Social Studies (ISS) take one step back and approach the discussion in a series of talks. Step by step, we highlight an aspect of this debate. We ask two experts to engage in a conversation with one another to explore the controversies and perhaps find some common grounds.
Speakers
• Smruti Patel, Founder & Director Global Mentoring Initiative (GMI) and Founder and Member of Alliance for Empowering Partnership (E4EP).
• Prof. Dirk-Jan Koch, Professor International Trade & Development Cooperation, Radboud University Nijmegen (the Netherlands).
