Thursday, February 19, 2026 - 12:30 to 14:30

The talk is part of the Atelier de Théorie Politique Paris (https://atpp.hypotheses.org/).

Abstract:
The concept of structural racism has become increasingly central to the political and ideological conflicts of our time. To many it appears as vague, unscientific, ideological. The talk develops an understanding of structural racism that shows how structural racism continues to structure interactions, practices, institutions, meanings and discourses in the current constellation.
