This year has seen an upsurge in calls for symbols of colonialism to be removed - from statue removals to changing the names of buildings. We're discussing the importance of these symbols and whether or not we should be getting rid of them. Our guests in this episode are: Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng, vice-chancellor of the University of Cape Town in South Africa, and Dr Vagishwari, professor in the Department of International Studies, Political Science and History at Christ (deemed to be university) in Bengaluru, India.
