Dr. Sadiah Boonstra is part of a newly funded research project under the NWA programme (Dutch Research Agenda), examining the ongoing effects of Dutch slavery and colonialism. ‘Slavery past present: Dutch slavery and colonialism and their present-day impact’ brings together an international consortium of researchers, cultural practitioners, and institutions working across different disciplines. Within this project, the consortium examines how these histories continue to shape present-day conditions and considers possible forms of redress.

The project is funded as a consortium of 29 researchers and practitioners and is led by the University of Amsterdam.
