[Catalyst Talk] Hans Kundani: White Europe

White Europe

Talk with Hans Kundnani

Catalyst  / Fri 22nd Sept / 5:15 - 6:15 pm

Have you ever thought about what it means to be European? What do you see when you think of Europe? Do you see people of all ethnicities?

In his book Eurowhiteness: Culture, Empire and Race in the European Project, Hans Kundnani challenges the narrative upon which the EU was built. The European project was promoted around ideals of diversity and justice, but is it reflected in today's Europe? In how we handle migrantion crises? Does being European mean being white?

Hans explores how European identity became intrinsically linked to whiteness, and how we can confront this.
