Event overview
The Centre for Postcolonial Studies hosts a roundtable where the editors of Postcolonial Studies are joined by invited scholars to reflect upon what the postcolonial theory set out to do, what road has been travelled, and what the future might hold.
As the journal Postcolonial Studies enters its 17th year of publication, the Centre for Postcolonial Studies hosts a roundtable where two of its editors are joined by invited scholars to reflect upon what the 'field' set out to do, what road has been travelled, and what the future might portend. From its origins in literary studies, postcolonial theory has spread and had a wider impact, but with all the attendant dangers of becoming yet another discipline, or a sub-field or ‘approach’ within a discipline. The editors will assess these possibilities and dangers, and the invited speakers will discuss the impact postcolonial theory has had upon Sociology, English/Comparative Literature, and International Relations. The Roundtable format is designed to allow those attending to join the debate.
