From June 4-5, 2025, the IberLAND project welcomed the workshop Shaping Colonial Normativities. Law, Land and Villages in Goa (16th-19th centuries), at the Leibnizhaus (Hannover), organized by Roger Lee de Jesus.
The event fostered in-depth discussions on the history of land tenure in Goa (India), from different perspectives, institutions and historical agents. The workshop aimed to question how normativities shaped the social space of the territory of Goa.The dynamic exchanges among the guest scholars, the IberLAND team, and other participating researchers helped shed light on the impact and legacy of early modern colonialism.
We look forward to see the results of this workshop in a future edited volume.
