Abstrakt
The workshop explores the plurality of colonial legacies in contemporary societies by bringing into dialogue perspectives on postcoloniality, decolonisation, and anticolonialism from non-Western contexts. It aims to foster comparative and interdisciplinary discussion on colonial continuities, transformations, and resistances across regions and historical settings.
We invite proposals for three papers engaging with (but not limited to):
- Postcolonial continuities, colonial afterlives, and contemporary transformations
- Decolonisation, anticolonial thought, and epistemic/political resistance
- Migration, mobility, and transnational migration governance, including colonial legacies in border regimes, citizenship, labour mobility, diaspora formation, displacement, and social organisation
- Comparative, transregional, and non-Western approaches to coloniality beyond Eurocentric frameworks
Workshop Context
The event builds on the organisers’ research on anti-colonial movements in British India, postcolonial migration governance in Bangladesh, and Chinese colonialism in East Turkestan and decolonial movements in Eurasia. It is envisioned as a focused, discussion-oriented workshop.
Practical Information
The workshop will be held in person with 3 invited external papers + organisers
