Minor Postcolonial Studies:
Our world, increasingly subject to the forces of both economic and cultural globalization, is one characterised by conflicts and contaminations with their roots firmly embedded in past colonial relations. Urgent questions generated by uneven contemporary postcolonial landscapes, both theoretical and geographical, relate to issues such as borders, memory, identity, ethnicity, migration and representations of otherness. The minor in postcolonial studies places and focuses these critically entangled questions and issues within wider historical and theoretical frameworks.
The minor Postcolonial Studies consist of four compulsory course modules (30 ECTS). Click here to learn more about the study programme:
