Postcolonial Studies is an intellectually dynamic and politically urgent field. It takes the pulse of contemporary societies and cultures in the context of an increasingly interconnected yet complex world.
Our postgraduate degree allows you to explore the cultural and creative representation of colonialisms old and new. The degree focusses on the ongoing impacts of enslavement, environmental catastrophe, forced migration, resource extraction, expulsion and extinction, explored in a range of literary and creative texts and materials, and engages with the exciting new cultural forms and politics emerging from rebellion and revolution, ideas about of difference, decolonial endeavours and multicultural values and innovations.
You will discover the richness and diversity of postcolonial cultures across the globe, exploring their social and historical contexts, and the theoretical and practical issues they raise.
An understanding of these issues will allow you to gain an in-depth knowledge of how creative outputs such as literature, film and music engage with race, place, power, identity and representation across a variety of contexts. Examples include new indigenous cultural activities and movements in the Americas and the Global South, environmentalist and more-than-human consciousness across Africa, and the growing metropolitan multicultures in the Global North.
The scope and scale of our academic expertise will help you to examine postcolonial societies and cultures from diverse intellectual perspectives. This flexibility will give you many opportunities to pursue your personal interests across the optional modules on the course, while an independent research project will enable you to explore a topic of your choice in even greater depth.
Our postcolonial team specialises in postcolonial ecocriticism, disability studies and medical humanities, anti-colonial revolution, experiences of refuge and asylum, trauma, Indigeneity, and more besides. We work across postcolonial fiction, film, theatre and poetry.
