Decolonizing Geography

October 6 and 7 - International conference Decolonizing Geography and Environmental Studies?

UNIL Geopolis

Part of our joint research is dicovering each other's fields and attending events in the art and in the science fields. It was a great experience to hear all these researchers questionning colonial issues in the scientific field.
