Institute for colonial and postcolonial studies

Details

Our work plays a key role in expanding each of these dynamic and rapidly developing research fields. We are a truly interdisciplinary initiative engaged in constructive dialogue between postcolonial approaches that challenge existing cultural and geo-political boundaries.Our central objectives are to re-assess colonial histories in all their complexity and diversity, and to gauge their continuing impact upon our globalised world.

We have a reputation for research excellence, with our members’ outputs consistently being published in the main journals and with leading academic presses worldwide. We also provide a vibrant research environment for research students and visiting scholars, helping them develop their projects and integrating them into our community.

At the same time, our mission commitment is t the general public as well the international academic community, and we seek to engage both through our projects and events.

We welcome applications from prospective research students interested in colonial and postcolonial studies. To find out more, visit the staff profiles of our members.
