The Rotterdam Inclusivity Project presents this open guest seminar with one of the key actors in the Dutch governance of anti-racism and anti-discrimination. Mr. Baldewsingh has been National Coordinator Against Discrimination and Racism since 2021 and is to be appointed for a new term. This makes him a key actor in probably one of the most complex policy areas, in terms of agenda setting of problems, instigating policy initiatives, coordinating in a complex policy network, and navigating the contested political and societal circumstances surrounding this policy theme.
