Researching Archives: Experiences & Perspectives

One-day Doctoral workshop

Workshop:
"Researching Archives: Experiences & Perspectives" is a one-day Workshop at the University of Basel with Jasmine Benhaida and Fares Damien (Program in Near and Middle Eastern studies).

The workshop will consist of three sessions from our four guest-contributors in which they introduce their experiences, perspectives and approaches to, with and within colonial, consular, family archives among others. The final session will be an open discussion situating the presenters’ and the students’ own experiences in archives within the current debates on decolonizing archives, access, circulation and ownership.

Up to 15 applicants will be selected for participation in the workshop, based on relevance of their research project.
