By studying cultural forms such as film, the media and literature ranging from novels to travel guides and biographies, we stimulate both academic and public debate on how individuals, communities and societies experience, remember and build anew from the legacies of colonialism.
The Colonial and Postcolonial Cultures research group are involved in a number of projects with wide-reaching impact, including:
The Women in Carnival Research network will be the first international network of carnival scholars and carnival artists focusing on the changing roles of women in carnival (inclusive of anyone who self identifies as a woman).
Bridging the perceived gap between academic research and artistic practice in carnival and creating strong, lasting and meaningful connections between communities and organisations.
