The project ►Transculturality_mdw was able to give important impulses inside and outside the mdw in the past six years. From WS 2014/15 to SS 2018, the ►lecture series Transculturality_mdw was offered every semester. In the academic year 2018/19, the lecture series took place as a two-day public symposium, ►"Decolonising of Knowledges", for the first time. The next symposium will take place in 7 and 8 May 2021 and will be part of the curriculum of the ►master’s degree programme in Ethnomusicology, which started in winter semester 2019/20.
The videos of the symposium "Decolonising of Knowledges" for May 2019 are available ►here.
The publication Transkulturelle Erkundungen - Wissenschaftlich-künstlerische Perspektiven is available as a ►free download.
