Welcome To the 19th Annual
British Commonwealth and Postcolonial Studies
Conference
The annual British Commonwealth and Postcolonial Studies Conference, inaugurated
in 1992, is the only annual meeting of its kind in the United States. It
encompasses colonial and postcolonial histories, literatures, creative
and performing arts, politics, economics, and all other aspects of the
countries formerly colonized by Britain and other European powers. There
is no restriction to any particular political/cultural ideology or to specific
critical practices, however fashionably current. Rather, we welcome and
seek to encourage a variety of approaches and viewpoints, and the generation
of wide-ranging, productive debates.
The avowed aim (or "mission") of the conference, then, is to be interdisciplinary and cross-cultural, and to offer scholars and researchers, teachers and students, the opportunity to disseminate and discuss their knowledge and understanding of the dynamic, important field of postcolonial studies.
