In this installment of the W. E. B. Du Bois Research Institute Colloquium Series, Kenda Mutongi, Professor of History at MIT, will present on her project "Burning Down the School: A History of Student Protest in Kenya". The presentation will be based on her forthcoming manuscript, which traces the history of both violent and non-violent protest by secondary school students in Kenya from the 1910s to the present. It will enrich historiographies on education, protest, childhood, family, precarity and resilience, and on colonial and postcolonial Africa.

Hutchins Center events and exhibitions are accessible, free, and open to the public, unless otherwise noted.
