\n\nThe growing interest in Black communities and individuals as object of research stands in sharp contrast to the conspicuous absence of Black scholars who carry the potential of structural change if they could act as subjects of research. How to undo the reality of research on Black communities that continues to be ‘about them but without them’?

\nWhen invited to deliver keynotes and lectures in university campuses in the United States, Stuart Hall and his mentees were always already aware of the dangers of institutionalisation, the commodification of blackness and the commodification of entrepreneurial Black public intellectuals (Hall, 1992; Carby, 2000). This panel invites critical reflections about the translation, appropriation and misappropriation of Black British Cultural Studies by African American intellectuals. It unsettles the assumption that Black public intellectuals always already mean African American intellectuals with Ivy League credentials.

\nThis panel calls for proposals that engage with the relationship between academia, politics and society, and more specifically communications that analyse: knowledge production on race, history and memory; the contemporary politics of memorialization, with a focus on social movements; contrahegemonic accounts to national narratives on race and racism. We encourage interdisciplinary contributions that enhance the potential for learning from across the diverse historical and geographical contexts of European colonialism, as well as from the less evident links in the campaigns
\nfor recognition by diverse populations.

\nThe university is inherently exclusive and racist. The university continually delegitimizes work being done outside of its ivory tower unless it can be subsumed into theories that are often written with endemic racism, sexism, and elitism. Knowing of this reality, this panel will discuss and debate whether truly decolonizing knowledge can happen in a formal institution such as the university or a museum. It invites activists, scholars, creators, and artists to present work that focuses on decolonization both outside and inside the university with a critical analysis. Keeping in mind the article “Decolonization is not a metaphor” by Eve Tuck and K. Wayne Yang, this panel will think about what decolonizing epistemology mean and what are the spaces where it can best unfold.

\nMany African immigrants and refugees residing in the West come from African countries where Black people are the dominant social group, and where anti-Black racism has not historically been an issue that they have had to struggle against. This panel seeks to explore and theorise ways in which Blacks who do not have ready access to the historical struggle against anti-Black racism identify, talk and challenge anti-Black racism in Western countries.

\n\nThis panel explores historical constructions of race by focusing on performances of “blackness" and looking at the lives and experiences of Black entertainers in Europe. Among other things, through looking at performers and performance we seek to reinsert the contributions of Black people into wider European historical narratives.

\nIn this panel scholars and founders of beaneu.org, Natasha A. Kelly (Berlin) and Olive Vassell (London) invite papers that discuss the importance of digital media for the decolonization of knowledge and education on Black Europe. Their aim is to interrogate how online maps can be used to collect, preserve and curate the “unsung and unseen” contributions of Black Europeans and foster opportunities for exchange between each of these communities as well as between communities of varying ethnicities in Europe.
