Epistemic Inequalities, the ILO, and Labour History in the Global South
In this episode, Kim König and Thomas Kaal sit down with Ulrike Lindner, Professor of Modern History at the University of Cologne, to talk about the research behind her lecture on epistemic inequalities in the Global South and their role in reproducing social hierarchies. Drawing on archival work on the International Labour Organization and its discussions of so‑called “native labour” in the 1920s, they explore how she traces the exclusion of Black experts, the authority granted to European imperial insiders, and the ways these knowledge practices shaped ILO policies on colonial and forced labour in the decades before the Second World War.

Epistemic Inequalities and their Consequences: The International Labour Organization and its Treatment of Colonial Workers after 1919
The lecture will first address the significance of epistemic inequalities in the Global South and work out why these are often prerequisites for the persistence of durable social inequalities. It will then analyse the International Labour Organization (ILO) and its treatment of colonial, non-white workers in the 1920s as an example of the consequences of epistemic inequalities. The ILO, founded in 1919, deliberately excluded black experts from its discussions of ‘native labour’, relying instead on European experts with long imperial careers. These experts were generally influenced by racist prejudices against indigenous workers. They greatly affected the ILO's policies on colonial and forced labour before the Second World War. Ulrike Lindner is Professor of Modern History at the University of Cologne. Her research interests lie in colonial and global history. She has worked on the comparative history of European empires, postcolonial questions, gender and empire, and issues of colonial and indentured labour. Recent publications include a special issue on The Production and Reproduction of Social Inequalities: Perspectives from the Global South (co-edited with Michaela Pelican and M. Eresso) in ZANJ, 8 (2025).

Queering German History: Still a Vital and Viable Endeavour?
What difference can queer perspectives make in our understanding of the German past and in present-day conversations around sexual and gender diversity? Having taught and published on LGBT history for several years in Berlin, London, and other places, Benno Gammerl takes this opportunity to reflect on the impact of such work. Looking at experiences and struggles of same-sex loving and gender-nonconforming people in Germany since around 1900, the talk discusses whether we should continue doing queer history in spite of the criticism that it essentializes sexual identity categories, and against powerful pushback from right-wing and other parts of the political spectrum in the East and West. Benno Gammerl is Professor of History of Gender and Sexuality at the European University Institute in Florence. His work addresses oral, emotional, queer-feminist, and intersectional histories. He is currently researching how bi-cultural couples in Germany have intimately navigated diversity since the 1960s. In 2023 he published Queer. Eine deutsche Geschichte vom Kaiserreich bis heute.
