Organizer: Deconstructing Indonesia; The Coretanist
Type/Location: Hybrid / New York, NY
Description:
Join Deconstructing Indonesia and The Coretanist for a discussion on modern refrigeration, compulsory kneeling, and why a student-led group that organizes classes on Indonesian history called “Deconstructing Indonesia” will be spending the next several months focusing on Europe.
About Deconstructing Indonesia:
Deconstructing Indonesia is a student-led group that organizes classes on Indonesian history, particularly the periods spanning the Indonesian National Awakening and Revolution. As our name suggests, the focus is on tracing the birth and development of Indonesian identity: its origins, its moral and political impetus, as well as how it was contested amongst the very people who birthed it in the first place. We conduct our sessions every Thursday on Columbia University’s campus.
About The Coretanist:
The Coretanist is a decolonial initiative dedicated to amplifying marginalized voices in history, culture, and politics.
