Interdisciplinary perspectives on empire, colonialism, and anticolonialism, 17 October 2025

Description

Empire, colonialism, and anticolonialism have been central drivers of world history for the past centuries, and they continue to shape present day realities. From ongoing practices of settler colonialism, through to climate colonialism, economic imperialism, and resurgent far-right nationalisms drawing upon imageries of empire, it seems to be obvious that ‘empire’ and ‘colonialism’ have never gone away. At the same time, we are in a moment of history where we are also witnessing a proliferation of resistance against empire and colonialism: from the halls of universities (as seen in the Palestine encampments) through to frontline battles against settlers, militarized violence, and nefarious capital.

Different disciplines across the arts, humanities, and social sciences have highlighted different dimensions of these processes of colonialism and anti-colonialism. At this one-day conference, we hope to put these different disciplines in conversation with one another, taking the strongest tools from different disciplines, such that we can produce a truly interdisciplinary understanding of empire, colonialism, anti-colonialism, and decolonization. We will conclude the event by producing a conference manifesto.

Registration fee includes refreshments.
