Talk by Chandra Frank followed by a Q&A chaired by Dr Akanksha Mehta
In this talk, I will weave together stories and reflections on researching the feminist and queer Black, Migrant and Refuge Movement and their transnational counterparts in the Netherlands in the 1980s. I envision the exchanges, flows, and circulation of ideas, movements and people through the water. Subverting the well-known colonial infrastructure and imaginary of the Dutch canals, I seek to re-imagine a landscape of circles that intersect with other waterways, thereby offering an innovative methodological approach to doing transnational research.
