New Directions: Colonial Legacies, Post-Colonial Perspectives

Part of the New Directions event series

REGISTER


Colonial legacies continue to shape political, social, and intellectual life. While colonialism is often treated as a historical period, its structures and logics persist in contemporary debates around race, territory, knowledge, and power. This panel — part of the Social Science Matrix New Directions series — will bring together UC Berkeley graduate students from anthropology, geography, and sociology to examine how colonial histories are reproduced, contested, and reimagined across different contexts.

This panel will feature Jaleel Plummer, a Joint PhD Candidate in Medical Anthropology with a designated emphasis in Critical Theory; Andrea Lara-Garcia, PhD candidate in the Department of Geography; Anna Feign, a graduate student in sociology; and Sophia Perez, graduate student in Geography at UC Berkeley. Ricarda Hammer, Assistant Professor of Sociology, will moderate.

Co-sponsored by the UC Berkeley Departments of Geography, Anthropology, and Sociology.
