Onderzoek wanpraktijken interlandelijke adoptie

Posted on by
Vanuit de VUB, UGent en UA wordt in opdracht van een expertenpanel vanuit de Vlaamse overheid momenteel een onderzoek gevoerd rond fouten, onrecht en wanpraktijken bij interlandelijke adoptie. Hierbij zullen zowel ethische, psychologische, sociaal-wetenschappelijke, historische als juridische aspecten aan bod komen.
Deze vragenlijst is een deelonderzoek waarmee we hopen een beeld te kunnen schetsen van de verschillende soorten wanpraktijken, met betrekking tot welke herkomstlanden, welke praktische en emotionele gevolgen dit kan meebrengen en welke maatregelen geadopteerden hierbij helpend achten. Met deze informatie trachten we het beleid te informeren en adviseren.
Deze zelfbeoordelingsvragenlijst gaat over de eigen ervaringen en beleving van geadopteerden rond fouten, onrechten en wanpraktijken bij interlandelijke adoptie.
Ben je interlandelijk geadopteerd, ouder dan 18 en heb je te maken gehad met onrecht, fouten of wanpraktijken bij je adoptie? Je kan je ervaringen (anoniem) delen in de vragenlijst!

SDG Lecture The making and unmaking of development: the SDGs and beyond

Posted on by

 SDG lecture of the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences – Ghent University

Panel debate with Jason Hickel (LSE), Lata Narayanaswamy (Leeds University) and Ruth Nyambura (Nairobi, Kenya)
September 24 – 19:30-21:00 – Online

The development paradigm, rooted in colonial heritages, based on modernist notions of progress, and premised on unsustainable economic growth, has been subject to postcolonial academic and (grassroots) activist critiques almost as early as it was introduced in the 1950s. Presently, however, with the compounded effects of economic and climate crises, and the migration/refugee debate, the notion of ‘post-development’ is gaining wider currency, urging both academics and the development sector to explore alternatives to development. Addressing key challenges such as debt, poverty, growing inequalities and environmental degradation, the panel debate will discuss the SDGs as the most recent (inherently contradictory) expressions of the development paradigm, and debate alternative approaches, knowledge-bases and practices.

Workshop ‘Re-Enchanting the World’ with Silvia Federici in Ghent – CFP

Posted on by
On 29 October, Universiteit Gent, Kunsthal Gent and Vooruit are joining forces to organise an intimate evening workshop in Ghent with feminist activist, writer and teacher Silvia Federici. Starting from two cases in Belgium (e.g. on the in/outsourcing of cleaners and on the enclosures of the beach), we aim to collectively create a pamphlet with Silvia that will record and respond to the urgent questions of this moment of global crisis and its opportunities for a new commons.
 
They invite scholars, artists, and/or activists in Belgium with an interest in feminism, anti-racism and/or agro-ecology for an evening of joyful militancy on how we can collectively re-enchant the world, and re-imagine and re-build communal infrastructures of life and social reproduction.
 

If you are a Belgian-based artist/activist/scholar and you would like to apply, then check out the call, and fill in the form!
