At a time when countries are becoming increasingly aware of their colonial pasts, even as colonialism and power inequalities reappear in new forms, we must ask how to respond to these transformed patterns of power and memory. This conference explores activist, artistic, and political responses to colonialism and unequal power relations across diverse national contexts. Expanding the geopolitical scope of colonial inquiry, it includes case studies related to Denmark, Germany, Italy, Russia, and Israel. Registration is now open. The deadline for registration is 1 September 2026. Place: University of Southern Denmark.

With guest speakers Ravinder Kaur (University of Copenhagen) and Sara Dybris McQuaid (Aarhus University), this research seminar asks what happens to our understanding of the state when we take seriously the relationship between memory and time? States are commonly understood as institutional structures, comprising governments, administrative bodies, borders and constitutions. Yet the state is also a profoundly temporal project, shaped by interpretations of the past and visions of the future. This perspective is particularly relevant in uncertain times marked by political rupture and crisis. To describe an event as a crisis, or as a turning point, is not simply to locate it in time. The seminar is organised by Christa Rydeberg Aakær in collaboration with the Talking Empire project and the Empires, States and Imperialism research group at SDU. Time & Place: 14.00 – 16.00; CML Seminar Room (ø20-405a-1), SDU Odense. All are welcome.
This research day organized by the SISL (Language, Interaction and Social Equality) group at SDU focuses on how identity impacts on everyday communication, in particular when people have unequal communicative resources due to for example, a language impairment or speaking a second language.

Participants will have an opportunity to hear about and explore recent research on identity and inequality in language and communication, how it can be studied and how these issues can be addressed practically. Time & place: 09:30 - 16:00; O95. Please register no later than November 16th.

This seminar seeks to address and wrestle with the importance of art in 2026 and how we can use Bob Dylan to talk about art. Throughout his career, Bob Dylan has been a multifaceted artist, drawing inspiration from work in the visual and plastic arts, cinema, radio, and creative non-fiction. Indeed, his interest in one genre or expression generally informs his other creative output. This seminar will explore how the singular timescape and range of Bob Dylan's creativity can help us think about the nature and value of art as we already find ourselves redefining how (and by whom/what) art is made, consumed, and evaluated. Deadline for registration is 22 October.
Den 2. november 2026 er det 50 år siden Vinterbørn – Dea Trier Mørchs banebrydende roman — satte fødslen og kvindekroppen på dagsordenen.

Guest lecture by Bidhan Roy, Professor at Cal State LA. In 2016, Cal State LA’s Prison Graduation Initiative (PGI) established California’s first bachelor’s degree program for incarcerated students. PGI has since grown into one of the largest higher-education programs within the U.S. prison system, currently serving more than 150 students across four California prisons: San Quentin Rehabilitation Center, California State Prison–Los Angeles County, the California Institution for Women, and the California Institution for Men. Drawing on thirteen years of prison education and activist praxis, PGI founder Dr. Bidhan Roy examines the intellectual foundations, pedagogical commitments, and institutional design of the program. The talk traces PGI’s initial inspiration in—and subsequent departure from—Michel Foucault’s work with the Groupe d’information sur les prisons, particularly its foundational commitment to “giving the floor to prisoners.” Roy considers what happens when incarcerated students are positioned not as objects of institutional knowledge but as authors and interpreters of their own experiences. Time & Place: 12.15 - 14.00, Sokrates meeting room.

By Stephen John Cowley, professor emeritus SDU: Distributed cognitive systems (Hutchins, 1995) link technologies with multi-scaled, living human subjects (Madsen, 2017). In pursuing thinking, one brings a systemic lens (Cowley & Vallée-Tourangeau, 2017) to the person-in-the-system (Fester-Seeger, 2025). In LLMs for thinking, I bring this to how –and whether –LLMs can shape quality “thoughts.” Time: 14:00-16:00 in: OD 095 Conference room.
