CFP: New Voices in Postcolonial Studies Network – deadline 18 March 2019

The New Voices in Postcolonial Studies Network is pleased to announce that we are holding a symposium at the University of Leeds, the title of which is ‘Interdisciplinary Imaginations, Critical Confrontations: New Voices in Postcolonial Studies’, on Thursday 13th June 2019.

The symposium will provoke frank and urgent discussions on the aspirations of postcolonial research and evaluate the discipline’s role in intervening in the very real challenges affecting an increasingly uneven world. How can the imaginative or speculative stakes of postcolonial thought intersect with the so-called ‘material’ exigencies of the past or present? How might we work across other diverse fields and develop new voices for postcolonial study? How can we foster a PGR/ECR community interested in postcolonial studies, and make our voices heard?

We welcome 20-minute papers, presentations, or practice-based papers on any aspect of postcolonial research. Deadline for abstracts is Monday 18th March.

Professor John McLeod (University of Leeds) and Dr Amy Rushton (Nottingham Trent University) are the keynote speakers for this event, a range of invited panellists will join our conversations. See the attached CFP and for further details visit: https://newvoicespocostudies.wordpress.com/events/.

New Voices in Postcolonial Studies is a cross-DTP PGR-led network based in the midlands and north of England, aimed at PhD students and Early Career Researchers interested in Postcolonial Studies. We are sponsored by the White Rose College of Arts and Humanities, Midlands4Cities, Postcolonial Studies Association, Institute for Colonial and Postcolonial Studies (Leeds), and the Postcolonial Studies Centre (NTU).

We look forward to receiving your abstracts,

Natalie Ilsley
