What is the relationship between postcolonial theory and history? How does the climate crisis inform our understanding of postcolonial experiences? Join us for an introduction to key areas of debate in postcolonial theory; the benefits and shortcomings of this field, the differences between decolonising and post-colonial history and, crucially, the relationship between postcolonialism and climate change.

Majumdar specialises in postcolonial theory as well as gender and sexuality, cinema and intellectual history.
