This workshop is intended to bring together heads of Postcolonial Studies research centre from across the UK and beyond in order to discuss potential collaboration. It aims to determine what sorts of activities would be of benefit to the broader community of researchers in Postcolonial Studies and how the CPS can act as a facilitator. A key goal during this workshop is to set a theme bringing in different specialisms and disciplines with a view to collaborating on a large, interdisciplinary conference in September 2016.
Outcomes: This event will mark the start of a longer-running network focused on shaping the future of postcolonial studies across the UK and beyond. A funding proposal will be submitted for a networking grant in order to run the conference in September 2016 and further targeted workshops, with the aim of producing a publication in 2017 in the form of either and edited volume or special issue of a journal.
