Reparations and Restitution: Legal Redress, Historical Justice, and Corporate Accountability in the Post-Colonial Present

We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for the international one-day academic conference: “Reparations and Restitution: Legal Redress, Historical Justice, and Corporate Accountability in the Post-Colonial Present”.

This academic conference seeks to provide an interdisciplinary platform for critical engagement with the urgent and contested questions of reparations and restitution in the contemporary moment. It will examine how the legacies of slavery, colonialism, racial capitalism and environmental exploitation continue to shape global inequalities, and how different communities, institutions, and legal systems are addressing demands for justice, repair, and accountability in Africa and for Africans in diaspora.

By bringing together scholars, practitioners, and activists, the conference aims to foster dialogue across disciplines and geographies, with particular attention to transnational struggles for redress.

Confirmed Keynote Speaker: Deadria Farmer-Paellmann

Executive Director, Restitution Study Group, United States of America (USA)
Keynote Theme: “Litigating the Past: Strategies for Corporate Reparations and Transformative Justice”.
