About the course

This innovative, interdisciplinary postgraduate culture, diaspora and ethnicity course stretches across the arts and humanities and social sciences. It offers you the opportunity to explore important subjects in this broad field of study, such as histories of ‘race’ and racism; the connections between transcontinental histories of colonisation and contemporary social formations and inequalities; postcolonial political communities, social identities and cultures and how local debates on inequality are shaped by the global geopolitics of the twenty-first century.
