De gevolgen van koloniale systemen werken tot de dag van vandaag door in ons dagelijks leven.

How can collaborations change during and after research? Does academic knowledge or research experience allow us any sort of ‘expert’ position? Must we produce academic papers and policy briefs only, or can we coproduce films, sounds and art collections? How indeed do we employ our creativity?
