On 30 November 2023, three members of CTH participated in the 66th African Studies Association Annual Meeting in San Francisco, where, along with two other participants, they organised a panel entitled ‘Crossing Imperial Boundaries: Transimperial Circulations and Anti-colonial Strategies’. Tomoki Yamada and Sakiko Nakao presented papers titled ‘Tanganyika and Indians in the Interwar Transimperial Settings: Colonial Aspirations and Anti-colonial Petitioning’ and ‘Africa for Africans and Asia for Asians? An Imagined Transimperial Alliance for Racial Resistance’, respectively. Satoshi Mizutani served as a discussant.
