Across the world, women are taking to the streets under the banner of Reclaim the Night, protesting the fact that they cannot move safely through public space after dark. Their message is clear: violence, exclusion, and fear are not abstract—they are embedded in how spaces are designed, regulated, and inhabited. This Autumn’s series of events […]| Studium Generale

Coming Autumn, we’ll dive into public space. Can we create space where all earth-dwellers feel welcome? In Q2-3 we’re investigating digital space, who it is created for and how we make use of it. And in our Spring programme we will focus on our inner space: the brain. Is society fit for neurodivergence?| Studium Generale
For the last four years, SG has helped organize events on campus to mark, celebrate, and learn about Keti Koti. Keti Koti, on July 1st, commemorates the end of slavery in Dutch Suriname in 1873. With the 150th anniversary in 2023, and a formal apology from the king, a lot of attention was paid to our colonial history, with a promise to continue working on healing the wounds and improving the lives of descendants of enslaved people in the Netherlands and abroad.| Studium Generale

What is the power of language in the lead-up to war? How has warfare changed in the age of AI? And can we look to the future with hope, engaging in dialogue with one another? Throughout the spring of 2025, Studium Generale events were mainly centered around War & Entropy and Language & Power. And even beyond those two themes, we organized interactive programs with surprising perspectives and meaningful encounters.

We leven inmiddels in een samenleving waarin alles te koop is. En passant zijn we ook gaan geloven dat de mensen met het geld en de bezittingen ons hun overtuigingen mogen opdringen. Zijn we doorgeslagen? En wat doen we ertegen?| Studium Generale

I saw bodies shatter into pieces under precisely dropped mini-bombs. I saw soldiers begging the camera for mercy. I saw others shot point-blank after surrendering. But what did I actually see?| Studium Generale
Films about AI and intelligent robots appeal strongly to our imagination. Think of Wall-E, Blade Runner 2049, Chappie, Interstellar or A.I. If we look closely at those stories, what can we discover about our connection with them?| Studium Generale
What is (or are) the best model(s) for an intimate relationship?| Studium Generale
So, here you are. The dust has settled, the water lowers, and underneath the debris of what once was our civilization lies an empty, deserted landscape. There is mud and the flickering of a lamp.
