Centre for the Global Study of Empire

Description

The Centre for the Global Study of Empire is an interdisciplinary and multi-lingual centre that aims to promote research and public engagement in the areas of colonialism, post-colonialism, and imperial studies from across the world.

The Centre’s mission is to forge an interdisciplinary research community within the Division of Arts and Humanities and across the University of Kent focused on the study of empire: its historical and contemporary practices, ideologies and legacies, and traditions of opposition and resistance.

Aims and objectives of the Centre include:

• Study practices, ideologies, ecologies, and legacies of historical and contemporary empire
• Study colonial, anti-colonial, and post-colonial histories and literatures
• Study knowledges, theories, epistemologies of empire and decolonization
• Promote interdisciplinary and multi-lingual comparative studies of empire
• Forge a new interdisciplinary and multi-lingual research community in the Division and University
• Promote public understanding of historical and contemporary empire through outreach events and sustained engagement
• Build on existing and forge new relations with relevant local, national and international HE and non-HEI groupings (i.e. the British Museum and Runnymede Trust)
• Support individual and networked grant applications
