This course introduces students to the key ideas and methods associated with postcolonial theory, and how it has reshaped our understanding of colonial, imperial, and global histories. Featuring scholarship on the British (and occasionally the French, Dutch and American) empires, the course puts history in dialogue with theory, encourages interdisciplinary thinking, and challenges conventional notions of temporality, causality, power, knowledge, and even the “archive” itself. Themes such as nationalism, race, capitalism, science, liberalism, law, human rights, climate, gender/sexuality are explored via the history of colonialism.
