TA (Tamarah) Kerr-de Haan, MSc

Tamarah Kerr de Haan is a PhD candidate in the Cultural Geography Chair Group as part of the ERC Starting Grant Project – FRICTIONS (Frictions of Space: the generative tensions of slavery and colonial heritage tourism).

Drawing on her Research Master in Gender Studies at Utrecht University, where she focused on decolonial and cultural memory studies, and her BA in Sociology at the University of Amsterdam, where she developed an extensive focus on postcolonial studies, she thinks through the generative and uneasy entanglements of slavery, colonial heritage, and the spaces where memory, place, and relation collide.
