Facing Inequity: NGO Perspectives on Decolonization in Algeria

Join us for a lecture by Brooke Durham, Assistant Professor of History at Boston University. Durham is a historian of France and the French Empire. Her research approaches the end of the French Empire through local, interpersonal interactions in France and Africa after 1945. Dr. Durham examines how students, social workers, teachers, and international volunteers negotiated the politics of the Cold War, development, and decolonization.

This event takes place as part of the Center for the Study of Europe's Decentering Europe initiative, the aim of which is to promote a critical understanding of Europe through its complex heritage, which owes its richness to countless contributions from other regions of the world, including Africa. In an increasingly multipolar world, we believe Europe can only be understood in relation to other sites of socio-cultural production, political engagement, and economic transformation.
