Some of the most important knowledge never makes it onto a reading list. Outside the Syllabus is a space to change that — sessions where students and community members with firsthand experience share perspectives that rarely get institutional airtime, followed by honest conversation. No registration, no grades, no filter.
The programme:
Monday May 4 — SV-og HUM: E 0103
10:15 — Ingrid: Sámi land rights and the politics of the Arctic under pressure
12:00 — Ishraq: The student movement that brought down a government in Bangladesh
13:45 — Ankush: Power structures, social programming and the roots of bigotry
Tuesday May 5 — SV-og HUM: E 0105
10:15 — Pascal: Refugee work in Greece — How Europe's asylum system is changing and what it costs
12:00 — Shriya: Anti-human trafficking work in India — borders, criminalisation and movement
Thursday May 7 — SV-og HUM: E 0105
10:15 — Divya: Gatekeeping at university — experiences of a global south student
Cinema 6.222
12:30 — Screening: Protest Under Pressure — a documentary on the silencing of pro-Palestinian voices in Berlin
All sessions run 75 minutes and are open to everyone — students, staff, and anyone curious.
The question running through the week: who gets to define the crisis — and whose account never makes it into the room?
Come to one session or come to all of them.
