Spesialsamlingene - Ep. 2: Panel discussion: «Sudan archives and Nubiology in times of war».

2023 marks the 60th anniversary of the start of the collaboration between the University of Bergen and the University of Khartoum. The humanities have been a central part of this collaboration, and historians, archaeologists, and philologists alike have worked, to various degrees, in the field of Nubiology—the study of Nubia. On September the 8th 2023, a panel of Nubiologists discussed the Sudan archives and Nubiology in a hybrid event, looking both to the past - the formation of the archives and the history of Nubiology - and to the present and future, which are being determined by the 2019 revolution and the 2023 war. Panelists: Cornelia Kleinitz, Sami El Amin, Artur Obłuski, Mohamed Farouq Abdelrahman Ali, Okwui Enewzor, Henriette Hafsaas. Chair: Alexandros Tsakos.
