Colonialism and Its Aftermath An interdisciplinary conference

University of Tasmania, Hobart


 

CALL FOR PAPERS & EARLY ADVICE & REGISTRATION INTEREST

 

 


Welcome


Colonialism recast the world map, linking disparate geographies and
diverse cultures under the aegis of European empires. If the sun never
set on the British Empire, it has also never set on scholarly attempts
to understand colonialism and its impact on the world. Colonial and
postcolonial studies across a range of humanities and social sciences
disciplines continue to analyse the complex cultural phenomena of
colonialism, addressing issues in literary studies, geography, Asian
studies, history, indigenous studies, art history, race studies,
architecture, women's studies, cultural studies, and anthropology,
amongst others. Much of the most interesting work in this field is
interdisciplinary. The University of Tasmania's research cluster
Colonialism and Its Aftermath invites proposals for papers from scholars
interested in exploring the relationship between colonialism and its
aftermath in innovative and interdisciplinary ways.
