Research

The Afro-Asian Networks project which Carolien Stolte co-directs with Su Lin Lewis has resulted in two special issues in the Journal of World History and the Journal of Social History. The research collective’s ‘Manifesto’ in Radical History Review highlights the multiple modes of internationalism by which Asian and African actors navigated and subverted the power dynamics of the early Cold War. The project can also be followed through its blog and twitter feed. Carolien continued working on these themes through her VENI-funded project "Southern Crossings" (2018-2022). From 2022, The Afro-Asian Networks Collective also works with the Non-Aligned News Research Partnership, a project funded with the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
