IASH alumnus Dr Ali Kassem has published an article with E-International Relations, exploring how, amidst a wider decolonisation debate, racialised communities across metropoles have contested, and protested, questions of the ‘past’, of history and of memory. The article emerges from his time in Edinburgh as IASH-Alwaleed Postdoctoral Fellow in 2021-22.
