Jaarlijkse Jacob Israël de Haan lezing
Jacob Israël de Haan: mimicry en eigenzinnigheid

Past de dichter Jacob Israël de Haan in het verhaal van het ontstaan van de moderne poëzie in de eerste decennia van de twintigste eeuw, of was hij een buitenbeentje dat uit de pas liep met andere nieuwe dichters? Welke rol speelde zijn homoseksualiteit in dit verband en hoe kreeg dat thema een plaats in zijn werk? Sloot hij aan bij andere homoseksuele Nederlandse (en buitenlandse) auteurs of was hij werkelijk uitzonderlijk?

The Role of International Law in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Israel before The Hague Courts

In July 2024, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that Israel’s continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territory is unlawful. South Africa has also brought a significant case before the ICJ concerning the prevention of genocide in Gaza, which is still pending. What are the implications of these legal cases for Israel and the international community? What responsibilities do the Netherlands and other EU states have in light of these developments?

Critical Conversations
Indigenizing Philosophy through the Land

In Indigenous environmental thought, the land possesses anticolonial political power, serving as the cornerstone of Indigenous resistance to environmental destruction and cultural erasure. In conversation with Brian Burkhart, Carolina Sánchez-de Jaegher and Rolando Vázquez, we discuss Indigenous environmentalism as an anticolonial force, and the encounter between Indigenous knowledge systems and decolonial thought.
