	Beyond the US?
DTSTAMP:20261106T002539Z
DTSTART:20261119T190000Z
DESCRIPTION:Over the past decades\, the understanding of racism as “structu
	ral” and\n“systemic” has traveled from the US context towards Europe. Also
	 in Dutch\npolitics\, policy and activism there is growing awareness that 
	racism is not only\nsomething inter-personal but also operates through oth
	er mechanisms of\nreproduction\, many of which are structural and institut
	ional.\n\nWhy has this understanding changed in the Netherlands? Do new un
	derstandings\ninform policy and activism? And how does the Dutch situation
	 compare with the\nUnited States\, and what is the situation like in other
	 European countries? In\nthis event\, we will explore in what ways academi
	c research can help advance\nefforts to make European societies more inclu
	sive and combat various\nmanifestations and causes of racism. This public 
	evening brings together\nresearchers\, policymakers and anti-racist activi
	sts.\n\n\nSPEAKERS\n\nPieter-Paul Verhaeghe is Professor of Sociology at t
	he Vrije Universiteit of\nBrussels\n\nSarah-Jane Koulen works at the Colle
	ge voor de Rechten van de Mens and is a\nformer researcher for the State C
	ommittee against Discrimination and Racism.\n\nYamina Meziani is Associate
	 Professor of Sociology at the University of\nBordeaux.
