Welcome to the Centre for the Study of Colonial & Postcolonial Societies
About the Centre
Based in the Arts Faculty, but involving researchers from across the University, CSCPCS facilitates comparative discussion and collaborative research on colonialism and post-colonialism, crossing established disciplinary boundaries and conventional boundaries of time and space. Interests encompass the ancient and the contemporary, the Anglophone, Francophone and Lusophone worlds and beyond, anthropology, drama, film studies, geography, history, sociology and literature.
The Centre's Director is Dr Matthew Brown, and the Colonialism Theme co-ordinator is Professor Robert Bickers. Current activities include a postgraduate reading group, and a workshop on 'Corruption and Colonialism' on 18 May 2012, organised by Dr Jonathan Saha.
