Florian Wagner, Assistant Professor of History and author of Colonial Internationalism and the Governmentality of Empire, explores the International Colonial Institute from 1893 to the 1970s.

He shows ideological convergence across Europe and how postwar rebranding sustained segregation under the guise of differing civilizations.
