My PhD-project "Local Appropriation of Global Trends: Commemoration of Colonialism in Denmark and the Netherlands, 1990-2025” applies methods of transitional justice, memory studies and global history to a consistently structured collection of data in order to test one key hypothesis: That the redress debates from the 1990s onwards have unfolded as inherently entangled events both in terms of the dynamics of the debates erupting in different national arenas and the types of redress ultimately provided, but that said debates have also manifested themselves differently in individual countries as a results of diverging cultural, political, and legal traditions influencing redress processes.
