Students in DialogueHybrid Live Session with students of Rojava University

21 February 2025

The AStA of the University of Hamburg invites you to a special hybrid event! Together with students from Rojava University (Qamishli, Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria) we want to talk about ecology and Jineolojî. Through exciting keynote speeches by students from Qamishli and open discussions, we will create a space for exchange and joint learning about alternative social models, coloniality and ecology, as well as feminist knowledge production.

In times of social, political, economic and ecological crises as well as increasing authoritarian tendencies and multi-layered inequalities around the world, universities must be places for change, internationalism and global social justice. Many academic discourses on the decolonisation of knowledge and universities focus only on theoretical questions and overlook material structures, sites of oppositional consciousness, oppression and critical approaches to liberation in times of neo-colonial wars, eco-, geno- and femicides, dispossession and new geopolitical formations.

We want to talk with students from the university in Rojava about how decolonisation of knowledge, which has emerged from the Kurdish movements and freedom struggles with the aim of building self-organised democratic societies, can look like.
