Decolonisation through Archives, Scotland

Decolonisation through Archives, Scotland

Comprising a curated podcast series and archival fellows programme involving undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as postdocs, Decolonisation through Archives builds on strengths of Glasgow specifically and Scotland generally to bring archival evidence to public discussions of empires, colonialism, and capitalism. We prioritise knowledge exchange and engagement, from academia to practice. Founded through support from the Chancellor's Fund (2022-25) and SPS Public Engagement Fund (2023) from the University of Glasgow, United Kingdom. Host & Producer: Professor Jay Sarkar, University of Glasgow https://www.freedompod.org/
