Postcolonial/Decolonization Reading Group Meeting

Friday, April 4, 2025 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM EDT

The Postcolonial/Decolonization Reading Group sees itself as a community of scholars interested in engaging in conversation on topics pertaining to the history of colonialism, the work of decolonization, forms of empire, imperialism, and neo-colonial experiences. We hope to look at the theoretical, political, economic, and cultural intersections within postcolonial theory and decolonization movements found in texts, media, and the arts and how to apply that knowledge to teaching, scholarship and activism.

If you’d like more information about the group, want to be added to our online forum, or attend a meeting, contact Shauna Rigaud (srigaud2@gmu.edu). 

The meeting on Friday, April 4, 2025 will be held jointly with the Memory and Difficult Pasts Reading Group and will focus on Ta-Nehisi Coates' The Message (Random House, 2024).
