History, Heritage, and Eugenics
Professor Joe Cain discusses how the distinction between history and heritage can help community discussions about de-naming, statue removals, and transitioning from a dysfunctional system of commemoration to one that works for everyone. This film was created specifically for a project at University of Puget Sound, responding to the question: how might UCL’s experience considering its legacies of eugenics assist University of Puget Sound in their own deliberations about de-naming. This film was created in 2020.

Olivia Arigho-Stiles: 20th Century Indigenous decolonial movements in Bolivia (EISPS Global Politics Remix 2021: Decolonial, Black and Queer Perspectives)
One of the most striking developments in Latin American societies since the 1990s has been the newfound visibility of Indigenous peoples. Perhaps nowhere is this more evident than in the plurinational Andean state of Bolivia, which in 2006 saw the election of its first Indigenous president, Evo Morales. Throughout the twentieth century, Bolivia experienced rebellions from an array of social groups which sought to negotiate and at times, radically contest the (post)colonial underpinnings of the nation state. This seminar will invite attendees to reflect upon the historical, ecological and epistemological significance of Indigenous movements in Bolivia.

Dr Bhakti Shringarpure: Notes on Fake Decolonization (EISPS Global Politics Remix 2021: Decolonial, Black and Queer Perspectives)
With the intensification of popular debates, discussions as well as knowledge production in the form of books and articles on the subject of decolonization, it is imperative to ask what the term has come to signify today. Ngugi wa Thiongo's landmark publication Decolonising the Mind in the late eighties shifted the term's scope into social and psychological terrain rather than simply indicating a transition of political power from the hands of the colonizer into those of the formerly colonized. Today, the verb "to decolonize" evokes curricula, syllabi, wellness, beauty, fashion and food. In this talk, we will engage the various new registers of decolonization and ask what counts as real and fake decolonization today.
