NWA funding granted to Research Consortium involving Posthumus fellows for research on knock-on effects of the Dutch slavery past
The Dutch Research Council (NWO) recently has granted funding to the research project ‘Slavery past present: Dutch slavery and colonialism and their present-day impact’. This research will be carried out by a consortium involving many researchers from a wide range of research institutions, among whom Posthumus fellows Dr Matthias Rosenbaum-Feldbrügge and Dr Coen van Galen, both affiliated with Radboud University.
The funding has been granted as a result of the call ‘Slavery pasts: (understudied forms of) impacts and perspectives’, part of the Dutch National Research Agenda programme.
The research project will investigate how Dutch slavery and colonialism’s legacies continue to impact lives today and explores possibilities for redress from the perspectives of descendant and Indigenous communities in and from Suriname, the Dutch Caribbean, South Africa, Indonesia and the Netherlands.
The N.W. Posthumus Institute congratulates Matthias and Coen and their fellow applicants with this project grant.
