anti-racism
Alana Osbourne
Anthropologist and researcher Alana Osbourne works at the crossroads of anthropology, critical geography, postcolonial thought, and Black studies, tracing how histories of empire continue to shape contemporary ways of seeing, knowing, and organizing the world. Her work is attuned to the subtle but persistent afterlives of colonialism, that extend beyond obvious political or economic structures into cultural institutions, scientific practices, and even imaginaries of the future. In this podcast, Osbourne reflects on how these layered histories demand new critical tools and interdisciplinary approaches capable of holding together questions of race, space, materiality, and power.
