Olivier Roy, a professor of Orientalism, joins Centre Stage to speak in regards to the roots of Orientalism and the enduring fable of how solely the West represents progress. From colonial-era narratives to modern-day politics, Roy explores how the World South continues to be perceived via a Eurocentric lens — and what that claims about our civilisation, modernity and the West’s ongoing battle with pluralism.
This episode is produced in partnership with the Worldwide Convention on Orientalism, an mental and tutorial platform that brings collectively main students within the discipline to foster knowledgeable dialogue in the direction of a balanced civilizational engagement.
