The ‘Postcolonialism in Interdisciplinary Perspective’ conference creates a platform for postgraduate students to discuss emerging concerns within Postcolonial Studies across a range of geographic and disciplinary boundaries, including Area Studies, History, Literature and Cultural Studies.
This one-day event will showcase postgraduate research investigating postcolonialism during the 20th and 21st centuries, from a range of disciplinary and geographical perspectives. As well as providing a graduate platform for discussing the state of the art and ways forward in postcolonial studies, the event will provide postgraduates with the opportunity to present research and to receive feedback in a friendly and constructive environment.
There are a limited number of spaces available and tickets will be issued on a firstcome,
first-served basis.
