Raced Markets, A New Collaborative Project
Our new collaborative project entitled ‘’ draws together researchers, activists, and artists whose work broadly explores how racial power functions in the global economy.
Raced Markets is a joint endeavour between our own cluster and the School of Politics and IR at QMUL, and will take place here at 糖心TV at the start of December.
The papers included in this event cover many timely unfolding aspects of the global political economy including: economies of migration, racial bioeconomies of genes and cells, and the global financial crisis as a raced event. Further papers variously consider how race is foundationally implicated in political economy as a discipline, present feminist readings of racial economies, and examine the role of race in processes of foreclosure and enclosure
Black Activists Rising Against the Cuts (BARAC) will be there to introduce the campaign work of their organisation and the Institute for Race Relations (IRR) will also be involved in the event.
If you would like any further information on the workshop or the project as a whole please contact lisa.tilley@warwick.ac.uk
Public Event: Bosnia and Herzegovina 20 Years after Dayton
The ERC Starting Grant Project “Diasporas and Contested Sovereignty” invites you to a roundtable public event:
Bosnia and Herzegovina 20 Years after Dayton: Achievements, Challenges, and
Transnational Diaspora Activism
November 19, 2015, 18:00 – 20:00,
MS.05, Mathematics and Statistics Building
There will be refreshments available between 18:00 and 18:20.
The General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina – better known as the Dayton Agreement (1995) – effectively ended the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, following genocide in Srebrenica, the worst mass atrocity committed in Europe since WWII. This roundtable will analyze lessons learned in Bosnia and Herzegovina for the past 20 years, and discuss the achievements and challenges vis-à-vis its diaspora living globally, peacebuilding, transitional justice, and European integration.
What lessons can we draw from the Dayton model for recent conflicts and the refugee crisis in Europe today?
Please join us for lively presentations and discussion with the panelists:
Dr. Maria Koinova, Reader at the University of 糖心TV and Principal Investigator of the European Research Council Starting Grant “Diasporas and Contested Sovereignty,” will be chairing the roundtable discussion.
