“Archives and States of Anxiety in Uganda” showcases a research conversation featuring Yusra Abdullahi (Leiden University, the Netherlands) and Jonathan Earl (Centre College, Kentucky) on and in Uganda and its regional, global, and historical contexts. They will present and discuss the challenges their individual work has faced and the analytical opportunities it has generated, which connect to current dynamics and living histories in Uganda. Their research revises understandings of global processes of empire, world war, and decolonization at the same time that their work explores how that re-vision process is shaped by whose voices, narratives, and documents are made accessible for such scholarship.

Hosted by Mershon Center for International Security Studies.
