The seminar titled “Defining Anti-Blackness through the Actions of Belgian Colonialism: Taming, Domesticating, Appropriating” was held on October 30, 2024, at UCLouvain Saint-Louis in Brussels.
Organized by the Centre de recherches et d’interventions sociologiques (Césir) and the Centre de Recherches en Histoire du droit, des institutions et de la société (CRHiDI), the event featured Véronique Clette-Gakuba, a lecturer and researcher in sociology at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB).
Her research focuses on anti-Blackness and the coloniality of power in Brussels, examining the city’s role as a postcolonial metropolis and a site for the (re)production of Black identity. The seminar aimed to provide tools for deciphering the complex theoretical field of decolonial studies, encouraging researchers to reflect on their practices and the interaction between their personal perspectives and contemporary social realities.
