Three talks on decolonial education will take place in the autumn/winter 2024 as part of the Flensburg Campus Talks.
The 2024 published anthology 'Denmark as a global player 17th-20th century - Colonial possessions and historical responsibility' deals with the colonial history of Denmark. In this blog post Prof. Bea Lundt introduces the anthology and presents her own contribution to the book about Fort Christansborg in Ghana.
The Flensburg Maritime Museum not only offers exhibits and background information on seafaring, the port and the German-Danish colonial history of Flensburg, but has also built up an extensive library on these subjects. Learn here more about how to use the library.
New dates for postcolonial city walks in summer 2024
On 3 May 2024 at 19.30, we cordially invite you to a reading with Aert van Riel in the Campelle. He will read from his book Der verschwiegene Völkermord.
The illustration of the Flensburg shorelines shown on the homepage of the Flensburg Postcolonial Network is a collaboration between Felisha Maria Carenage and Nelo A. Schmalen. In a text we explain in particular the background to the graphic of the shorelines, which has its origins in a comparative map analysis by Nelo A. Schmalen.
New dates for postcolonial city walks in autumn 2023
In September 2023, the anthology Geographies of Coloniality - Histories of Global Inequalities was published by Sybille Bauriedl and Inken Carstensen-Egwuom, both part of the Integrative Geography department at Europa-Universität Flensburg. The anthology also includes contributions dealing with Flensburg's colonial entanglements.
The redevelopment of the area around Christiansen Park was completed in the summer of 2023. The creation of this area has direct links to Danish colonialism. This is now commemorated by a plaque in the park and a detailed text on this website.
Nelo A. Schmalen's work deals with the urban spatial changes in the Eastern Harbour and explores the extent to which this space is characterised by colonial entanglements. The maps of the harbour area created as part of the work visualize changes to the harbour edge, the terrain and the infrastructure.
