Program Overview
The innovative, interdisciplinary MA Culture, Diaspora, Ethnicity stretches across the social sciences and arts and humanities. It offers you the opportunity to explore:
-
histories and cartographies of 'race' and racism, multiculture and postcoloniality; empire and the formation of modern Britain and contemporary transnational political communities, social identities and urban cultures
-
connections between histories of colonisation and contemporary social formations and inequalities in the UK
-
how local debates on 'race' and racism are shaped by the global geopolitics of the twenty-first century.
The course examines connections between interlocking colonial histories across the globe and our ordinary, local, everyday life here in contemporary Britain. We focus on a broad range of subjects such as histories of colonisation, systems of slavery, indenture and other forms of colonial labour; histories of the concept of 'race' and other systems of categorisation; colonial cultures, nationalisms, 'respectability' and the invention of 'whiteness'; histories of criminalisation and policing and anti-racist and anti-fascist resistance; theorising culture, community, hybridity and creolisation; postcolonial belonging and diaspora; 'race' and 'beauty'; contemporary racial nationalisms and religious authoritarian movements; and 'race' gender, sexuality and desire.
