"Decolonising Political Concepts", University of Aberdeen, 19-20
September 2019
We seek to open
up collective and collaborative reflections on how to expose, challenge and
overcome the colonialities still permeating ideas and research by questioning
the tools that political concepts are. We aim to engage with non-Western and

reflect on alternative uses and on what decolonised political concepts might
look like.

“Development, Humanitarianism, and Security in the Middle East: Legacies and
Futures”, George Washington University, 20 September 2019
The Middle East
has long been the target of various development, humanitarian and security
interventions initiated by internal and external actors. These interventions
have often failed to achieve their goals. However, those failures have shaped
and will continue to shape the avenues and aspirations of peoples, NGOs,
private organizations, and governments. This one-day multidisciplinary Graduate
Student Symposium invites submissions that consider how the region’s long
history with such interventions affects the contemporary Middle East and shapes
aspirations for future changes.
