Black Scholar and Expert Conference

This conference offers presentations by Black researchers and experts in the Netherlands. Presentations in Dutch & English.

Presentations and workshops from researchers and experts across disciplines such as but not limited to neuroscience, medicine, musicology, law and social work will be given. The full program is available on the event page. 

Presenters Marvin Hokstam, Broos Institute (Netherlands) and Prof. David Millar, The Millar Institute for Transdisciplinary Studies (Ghana), will give a joint presentation that introduces a groundbreaking Master’s and MPhil in Cultural Development, developed by The Millar Institute in Ghana and brought to the Netherlands by the Broos Institute.

Rooted in endogenous African philosophy, the program is conceived and taught entirely from African epistemologies—free from European academic frameworks.

In my presentation I will outline the vision of Broos Institute, after which dr. Millar will speak on curriculum and methodology of the first Master’s offered in Europe by an African university. Together with the audience we wish to reflect on implications for Black Study and non-institutional pedagogies in the Netherlands and throughout. Our aim is to open dialogue on how African-centered higher education can transform global knowledge production.

Screening a Story of Bones

The Broos Institute will hold a special screening of the award-winning documentary A Story of Bones on Thursday, August 28, 2025. The screening will take place at 6:00 PM at the institute’s office at Stationsweg 28, 1382AB, in Weesp. Filmmaker and activist Annina van Neel will be personally present for a post-screening discussion..

A Story of Bones follows Van Neel in her struggle to make the neglected history of St. Helena visible, after the remains of thousands of enslaved Africans were uncovered on the remote island. The film poses confronting questions about memory, justice, and decolonization.
