Link: The Forum has become a partner institution to the University of Utrecht's Postcolonial Studies Initiative.

Queen's Postcolonial Research Forum seeks to foster the intellectual atmosphere and sense of interdisciplinary co-operation and support that will enable Queen's researchers in the field of postcolonial studies, and related areas, to produce work of the highest quality in a stimulating environment, providing members with opportunities to seek positive criticism and advice from a wide range of related expertise.

 The Forum' s main objectives are:

  • to enable researchers in the field of postcolonial studies and related areas, to quickly identify potential research partners with particular skills and expertise within Queen's. 
  • to promote and improve the quality of grant applications to external funding bodies to undertake research in the area of postcolonialism or related fields.
  • to identify potential sources of funding.
  • to invite external academics to Queen's as visiting speakers, and to engage in joint research projects.

 

Queen's Postcolonial Research Forum also welcomes those working in areas such as:

ethnic conflict, imperialism, colonialism, nationalism, national identity, cultural identities, migration, decolonisation, globalisation, world trade, minorities, neo-imperialism, etc.
