Rosa Williams, PhD Candidate, History

Discussant: Kate McHarry, PhD student, Anthropology

Thursday, November 30th (5pm)

 

The University of Chicago's Comparing Colonialisms Workshop is a multi-disciplinary forum for discussing colonial research. Founded in 2004, CCW aims to broaden conversations about colonial studies beyond the paradigmatic confines of discipline, region, and period. To do so, it encourages innovative and cross-discliplinary discussions of research into colonialism by faculty and students in a range of fields. Workshop participants come from diverse humanities and social science fields, including art history, anthropology, English, comparative literature, history, and political science. By bringing different methodological, geographic, and historical perspectives on colonialism into conversation with one another, the organizers believe that innovative questions about colonialism and colonial studies can be developed.

 

The Comparing Colonialisms Workshop meets every second Thursday at 5 p.m. in Wilder House 5811 S. Kenwood Avenue.
