> Welcome
> Colonialism recast the world map, linking disparate geographies and
> diverse cultures under the aegis of European empires. If the sun
> never set on the British Empire, it has also never set on scholarly
> attempts to understand colonialism and its impact on the world.
> Colonial and postcolonial studies across a range of humanities and
> social sciences disciplines continue to analyse the complex cultural
> phenomena of colonialism, addressing issues in literary studies,
> geography, Asian studies, history, indigenous studies, art history,
> race studies, architecture, women's studies, cultural studies, and
> anthropology, amongst others. Much of the most interesting work in
> this field is interdisciplinary. The University of Tasmania's
> research cluster Colonialism and Its Aftermath invites proposals for
> papers from scholars interested in exploring the relationship between
> colonialism and its aftermath in innovative and interdisciplinary
> ways.
