Congratulations to the Global History of Anticolonial Thought Research Excellence Cluster for receiving funding through the Grants for Catalyzing Research Clusters competition!
The cluster is led by UBC Political Science Professor Barbara Arneil and includes Professors Glen Coulthard and Nazmul Sultan, as well as Professors Afsoun Afsahi and Anna Jurkevics as collaborators.
The group seeks to create an interdiciplinary platform for scholars working on anticolonialism and global history to explore the meaning of global political theory further. They seek to theorize the ways in which land and sea have bridged the anti-colonial world in the past as well as explore the promises — and limits — of anticolonialism as a normative resource for the the future global age.
The ultimate goal of the cluster is to collectively advance the agenda of creating a global framework for studying anticolonial thought and to create a Center for the Study of Global Political Thought at UBC.
The cluster is one of 45 research excellence clusters led by researchers at UBC Vancouver that will be supported through the Research Excellence Clusters initiative in 2024/25.
