And session 4 of @aces_for #DecolonisingEurope series kicks off with @AnwarTasniem and @saramsalem discussing Sara’s new book “Anticolonial Afterlives in Egypt: The Politics of Hegemony”.

Tasniem and Sara are now having a fascinating discussion about Edward Said’s travelling theory. #DecolonisingEurope

Tasniem is currently writing a review of Sara’s book for @geopol_jl.

Now the conversation has moved on to Avery Gordon’s “Ghostly Matters: Haunting and the Sociological Imagination” to think about different temporalities, haunting, and different empirical material and how Sara’s work pushes the concept of haunting #DecolonisingEurope

Alongside haunting as a way to the think of a colonial present is Ann Laura Stoler’s work on duress in her book “Duress: Imperial Durabilities in Our Times”. #DecolonisingEurope
