SUMMARY:On the Possibility and Impossibility of Reparations for Slav
 ery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:On June the 7th 2020\, a group of Black demonstrators scaled 
 a statue of King Leopold II in Brussels\, Belgium and brandis
 hed the flag of the Democratic Republic of the Congo\; chanti
 ng one word repeatedly: “Reparations”. Demands for repar
 ations for slavery and colonialism are occurring across mult
 iple scales and locales\, in various forms\, and have intensif
 ied in the context of the global movement for Black Lives. A
 n increasing number of institutions\, NGO’s and even states
  are responding to reparations demands: sometimes by acknowl
 edging their moral legitimacy\, rarely by addressing their ma
 terial merits. This webinar series investigates the signific
 ance of a global turn towards demands for reparatory justice
  for slavery and colonialism\, and probes the terms upon whic
 h reparations would be capable of both enacting repair and a
 ccount for social inequality in capitalist\, white supremacis
 t\, and settler colonial contexts. \n\nAcknowledging the globa
 l implications of racialized forms of oppressions\, the serie
 s prioritizes an international framing of the question of re
 paratory justice and asks us to ponder the possibilities and
  the impossibilities of reparations for slavery and colonial
 ism: What is the relationship between reparatory justice and
  the possibility of the abolition of the carceral state? Wha
 t could material reparations for histories of colonialism an
 d enslavement look like\, how might they be adjudicated and a
 dministered? What is the relationship between claims for rep
 arations\, studies of repair\, and liberal progressive state l
 ogics?
