Nijmegen and Slavery

Tuesday 21 October 2025, 8 pm - 9:30 pm
Lecture and conversation in Dutch | Radboud Reflects and the Municipality of Nijmegen

Venue: Theatre Hall C, Radboud University
This programme is in Dutch. 

How significant was Nijmegen’s role in the colonial slavery system? New research reveals that city officials in Nijmegen enabled slavery, sustained it, and personally profited from it.

What does this knowledge mean for how we view our city? How does this past continue to shape the present? And what does it ask of us—as citizens, as leaders, as a society?

Come listen to historian Joris van den Tol and researcher Nikita Krouwel and reflect on Nijmegen’s slavery history. Mayor Hubert Bruls will open the evening.
