Humboldt Residency Programme 2024: Power and knowledge

Humboldt Residency Programme 2024: Power and knowledge

Knowledge arises and circulates in a global but asymmetrical network of power structures that is not always visible and has effects at both societal and political level. How can we make knowledge widely accessible? How can we protect and promote indigenous knowledge and raise awareness of it around the world? How can researchers and political actors be sensitised to persisting colonial structures and to the value and diversity of existing local and indigenous knowledge?

With its Humboldt Residency Programme, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation brings researchers, artists, civil society actors, and journalists together every year to work on a current issue of social relevance during a residency in Berlin/Brandenburg. This year’s participants hailed from a wide range of countries that include Australia, Nigeria, Mauritius and Mongolia. Working across disciplines and topics – from anthropology and cultural studies all the way to health research, machine learning and science journalism – they focussed on the inclusion and exclusion mechanisms at work in global knowledge production.
