CFP Hybrid conference Displaced Indigeneity, Unsettling Histories: Forced Migration, Kinship, and Belonging

University of Glasgow, Glasgow/UK

27-28 June 2023

Deadline: January 30, 2023

https://www.gla.ac.uk/research/az/globalhistory/news/headline_883608_en.html

(hybrid)

Indigeneity often speaks to people’s deep historic, spiritual, and political connection with place. Yet the long history of settler colonialism has enacted multiple processes of dis-placement, through forced migration, land and resource appropriation, enslavement, resettlement and concentration. While these violences have not always prevented Indigenous and Afro-Indigenous peoples’ kinship and belonging, dis-placed and dis-rupted Indigeneity has also had to create new methods of belonging within the dis-locating experiences of an ongoing colonialism.

This workshop seeks to make space for researchers – especially researchers who are Indigenous from postcolonial and contemporary settler states – to discuss the histories and legacies created by forced migrations and the critical fissures created by colonial pasts and presents. We intend this space to bring together historians and interdisciplinary scholars of Indigenous histories, broadly defined, from around the world, and for it to be the start of an ongoing conversation about Indigenous enslavement, displacement and mobility from pre-invasion and colonisation to their resonances in the present day.

The workshop includes two outstanding keynote speakers – Andrés Reséndez (University of California, Davis) and Nancy Van Deusen (Queen’s University, Canada) – who are among the leading scholars in the field of global Indigenous enslavement studies, especially within the Latin American context. The workshop will also offer a public lecture from Caroline Dodds Pennock linked to the release of her major new trade book on Indigenous peoples, free and enslaved, in early modern Europe. It also offers a guided visit to the newly renovated Tlaxcala Codex in the University of Glasgow’s Special Collections.

Organised by

Leila Blackbird (University of Chicago), Caroline Dodds Pennock (University of Sheffield), and Julia McClure (University of Glasgow)

Please send abstracts of no more than 300 words by 30 January 2023 to Julia.McClure@Glasgow.ac.uk

Online-Vortrag Johannes Müller Gómez: „Kanada und die verflixten Klimaziele“

Veranstaltung der DKG Oberbayern in Kooperation mit dem Amerikahaus München

24. November 2022, 19 Uhr, Youtube Livestream

https://www.amerikahaus.de/ausstellungen-und-veranstaltungen/2022-11-24-johannes-mueller-gomez

2015 verpflichtete sich die Weltgemeinschaft mit dem Pariser Abkommen dazu, die Erderwärmung auf möglichst 1,5 Grad, maximal auf 2 Grad zu begrenzen – so auch Kanada. Zuletzt hob Premierminister Justin Trudeau die kanadischen Klimaziele mit dem Versprechen an, die heimischen Treibhausgase bis 2030 um 40 bis 45% unter das Niveau von 2005 zu senken. Während sich der kanadische Premier auf der internationalen Bühne als Teil der klimapolitischen Avantgarde sieht, reichen die bisher vom Bund und den Provinzen verabschiedeten Maßnahmen jedoch nicht aus, um sein Versprechen zu halten.

Der Vortrag soll einen Überblick über die Entwicklung der kanadischen Klimapolitik geben und herausarbeiten, inwieweit der kanadische Föderalismus eine Herausforderung für das Erreichen der kanadischen Klimaziele darstellt. Aus welchen Gründen verweigern sich einzelne Provinzen der Umsetzung des Pariser Abkommens? Welche Strategien nutzt Premierminister Trudeau, um diese Provinzen mit ins Boot zu holen? Und welche Chancen hat er in den letzten sechs Jahren dabei vertan?
