Event description: 

Recent European elections have solidified a sharp rightward tilt in France, Germany, Austria, and the European Parliament, among others. As we approach a watershed US election, ESC Race, Migration, and Coloniality in Europe Working Group invites you to a discussion of how the instrumentalization of migrants and asylum seekers are intensifying racialization, the mainstreaming of white supremacy and anti-Blackness, but also strategies of resistance that seek to provide counter-histories to dominant narratives.

Jonathan Bach (The New School)
Ibrahim Bechrouri (John Jay College, CUNY)
Fatima El Tayeb (Yale University)
Laura Kristine-Krause (More in Common Germany; Yale World Fellow)
