Short summary
This intervention discusses the politics of place naming in the context of decolonising universities and academic knowledge. It is written as a comic that creates a visual as well as textual narrative by focussing on the figure of Carl Vogt, a 19th century racial theorist and politician whose name was used for a building constructed in 2015 at the University of Geneva. It is written as a personal letter to Carl Vogt.
