The Postcolonial Studies Reading Group

The Postcolonial Studies Reading Group is a community of scholars who conduct research on and teach a range of topics pertaining to forms of empire, imperialism, colonial and neo-colonial experience. The group focuses on intersections of theory, literature, and visual culture with race, class, gender, and sexuality. Group members come from various departments and faculties at ·ÛºìÅ®ÀÉ and colleges in London.  Members work on literatures and film of Africa, the Caribbean, South-Asia, and the Indigenous cultures of Canada and the US. The group meets about once a month. Activities at the meetings include discussions of selected readings or writing workshops around a member’s project. The group also hosts speakers.
