Rencontre Ibn Khaldun: Keynote series “Perspectives on the Mediterranean”, 5–7 November

As part of the International Conference “A Decolonial Mediterranean? Disparities, Imaginations, Power Relations,” held from November 5–7 in Tunis, MECAM is delighted to announce a series of keynotes by three distinguished scholars. The Rencontre Ibn Khaldun, titled “Perspectives on the Mediterranean,” will feature diverse approaches, viewpoints, and ample time for discussion. In three keynotes, speakers will explore the potential for decolonizing (writings about) cities, solidarity and revolutionary movements across the Mediterranean and Black Sea, as well as historical perspectives on (de)colonizing the French Mediterranean.
