Anthropocene Navigators: Decolonisation and Democratisation 10 July 2025 15:30 - 17:00

Share
Join us for the fifth event of the Anthropocene Navigators community! This session will revolve around the themes of decolonisation and democratisation.

This event handles the important subject of decolonisation and sustainability and how these processes relate to the political process of democratisation. Especially in times of polarisation and imminent growth of autocratic regimes, the Anthropocene Navigators will explore this theme with two speakers: 

  • Dr. Shivant Jhagroe (Leiden University) with (Un)Sustainability, Climate and Justice
  • Drs. Wim Manuhuti  (VU) with Epistemic Decolonialism

Moderator is Drs. Mathieu Blondeel (VU), Assistant Professor in the Environmental Policy Analysis (EPA) department of the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM) of VU Amsterdam.

The event will take place online and there is no registration required. To access the event, you can either join the Anthropocene Navigators environment on campus online, where you can also engage with fellow participants before and after the event. Or you access it directly through this zoom link

Speakers

Shivant Jhagroe his current research focusses on marginalised and more-than-human actors in policy and politics (e.g. racialised/low-income groups, ecosystems, algorithms). He is particularly interested in the role of such actors in novel governance arrangements around sustainability and digital technology, focusing on questions of knowledge/power, inequality and justice. With his research he seeks to develop perspectives and strategies towards more sustainable, democratic and just futures.

Wim Manuhutu is a historian and heritage professional, with focus on investigating, presenting and sharing new and underrepresented sides of history. These histories often have connections with the global process of colonialism and imperialism and the reverberations of both in our societies today. Trying to connect histories is one of his main goals.
