How the Human Voice has Shaped History

From Breath to Body Politics

Why do we like listening to some people more than others? In a world suffused by speech – of politicians, influencers, salespeople and pundits alike – that question seems more relevant than ever. Join us for a panel conversation on how the power of a ‘good voice’ has been shaped and re-shaped in the last two centuries.

Opportunities and Challenges for Teachers in Conflict-Affected African Societies

Teaching About the Violent Past

In this book launch, we will explore how education can contribute to reconciliation after violence. What role do teachers play in navigating contested histories, trauma, and memory in societies shaped by conflict? And what can educators in Europe, and in the Netherlands specifically, learn from experiences with teaching the violent past from Kenya, Côte d’Ivoire, and Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo?

Europe and the Value of Culture for International Relations

Taxation of the Rich. Social Inequality in the Long-Run

At the beginning of 2014, Oxfam reported that the richest 85 people globally owned as much wealth as the poorer half of the world’s population, i.e. over three and a half billion people. Two years later, it took only 62 super-rich people to equal the wealth of the poorer half of humanity, and by 2018, only 26 super-rich individuals. Such figures confirm the impression that we are currently living in times of exponentially growing inequality.

Een avond met Jung Chang, auteur van de bestseller ‘Wilde zwanen’

Wilde zwanen van Jung Chang was in de jaren negentig een bestseller. Het was een boek dat een generatie definieerde – het verhaal van ‘drie dochters van China’: Jung, haar moeder en haar grootmoeder, en hun levens tijdens een eeuw van revolutie. Changs nieuwe boek Vlieg, wilde zwanen vertelt wat er daarna gebeurde. Deze avond spreekt Jung Chang hierover.

Voertaal: Engels.
