Goldsmiths - University of London

With a world-class reputation for encouraging inter-disciplinary collaboration, Goldsmiths has long been a centre for postcolonial theory- not surprisingly, since postcolonialism is a field of enquiry which is by its very nature interdisciplinary and which flourishes across, and in the interstices between, academic disciplines.

Postcolonial theory is taught and researched in most of the academic departments at Goldsmiths, including the Departments of English and Comparative Literature, Drama, Sociology, Media and Communications, Cultural Studies, Art, Anthropology, Visual Cultures, Music, and Politics. The Centre for Cultural Studies offers an MA in Postcolonial Studies, and two of the founding co-editors of the leading international journal in the field, Postcolonial Studies - Professors Michael Dutton and Sanjay Seth - are in the Politics department at Goldsmiths. Staff researching and writing on postcolonial studies include, amongst others, Bart Moore-Gilbert (Professor of Postcolonial Studies and English), Chris Berry, John Hutnyk, Chetan Bhatt, Françoise Vergès, Irit Rogoff, Barley Norton, Eyal Weizman, Gareth Stanton, Sara Ahmed and Bhaskar Mukhopadhyay. The Centre for Postcolonial Studies at Goldsmiths seeks to build upon these strengths.
