In recent times, Afro-Asia has attracted renewed interest, to a large degree inspired by emphatic calls for ‘decolonization’ within university curricula in many parts of the world. The academic investment in curricular decolonization has found resonance in wider society through mediatized movements drawing attention to the perseverance of racial and gendered violence, compelling a revisitation of the Afro-Asia proposition and attempts to find newer axes of solidarity. Recognizing the significance and politics of location, we are holding a conference to revisit the critical currency of Afro-Asia from the locus of the Gulf region, which has been a zone of encounters and flows of commodities, cultures, and people from across continents.
