Remembering the Life, Work, & Legacy of Professor Mohamedou
The recent passing away of Mohamed Mahmoud Ould Mohamedou -beloved teacher, scholar, and public intellectual- confronts us with the untimeliness of his death, for there was still much for us to learn, discuss, and understand with him. His formidable oeuvre addressed many questions -terrorism, state-building, democracy, nationalism, and racism, to name a few- which remain more timely than ever. Reflecting on the importance of critically and continuously engaging with the archive that those who come before us leave us with, this closing session brings three of Professor Mohamedou’s PhD students in conversation on the political and intellectual legacy of his work: How can we address Professor Mohamedu’s life and work as a potential resource for sketching the future possibilities of an archive that documents and problematizes past and present hierarchies of thought and practice?
