Postcolonialism in Interdisciplinary Perspective
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 field and ways forward in postcolonial studies, the event will provide postgraduates with an opportunity to present research and receive feedback in a friendly and constructive environment.
More broadly, the conference aims to foster a community of postgraduate researchers who are interested in postcolonial studies, and to provide them with the opportunity to become aware of cutting-edge research by experts in the field.
The day will consist of four themed panels of postgraduate presentations, as well as two keynote speeches that will book-end proceedings. The chance to network with other postgraduates will be central to the event. Refreshments, lunch and a wine reception will be provided
The deadline for abstract submissions is 15th March. Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be submitted to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> using the subject heading ‘Abstract 2017’, along with a biography of up to 150 words. Notification of acceptance will be sent by 31st March, and those selected will be invited to give a 20 min. presentation.
