<div class=""><b class="">Thinking the World from Africa: A Conversation with Achille Mbembe</b></div>
<div class="">
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Achille Mbembe is one of the preeminent critical theorists and public intellectuals of the current and future world. His intervention is to think the world in-common and the condition of planetary entanglement from Africa. Join us in
a conversation ranging across topics including on the postcolony and decoloniality; decolonizing knowledge and situated thinking; the planetary turn of the African predicament; necropolitics; borders, enclaves, insulation and networks; the planetary library
and the disenclosure of the world; dispossession, restitution and repair; the politics of the living beyond humanism and for the habitability of the earth.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">The conversation will be led by Meg Samuelson (University of Adelaide; Stellenbosch University). Registered attendees will be invited to pose questions to Professor Mbembe during the webinar as well as to submit questions by email in
