Sheila Khan: “Today, having only one History is a trap”

Each day, we come to understand more clearly that there is not just one History or a single narrative, but many histories. Questioning how these stories have been told is a crucial step in deconstructing collective memory.

Sheila Khan, professor at Lusophone University and researcher with the CONCILIARE team at University of Minho, highlights the civic importance of recognizing the diverse humanities that existed long before colonialism began.

Together, we can transform these narratives and nurture identities in their full complexity and authenticity.
