Master of Arts in Culture, Diaspora, Ethnicity
Program Overview
The innovative, interdisciplinary MA Culture, Diaspora, Ethnicity stretches across the social sciences and arts and humanities. It offers you the opportunity to explore:
- histories and cartographies of 'race' and racism, multiculture and postcoloniality; empire and the formation of modern Britain and contemporary transnational political communities, social identities and urban cultures
- connections between histories of colonisation and contemporary social formations and inequalities in the UK
- how local debates on 'race' and racism are shaped by the global geopolitics of the twenty-first century.
The course examines connections between interlocking colonial histories across the globe and our ordinary, local, everyday life here in contemporary Britain. We focus on a broad range of subjects such as histories of colonisation, systems of slavery, indenture and other forms of colonial labour; histories of the concept of 'race' and other systems of categorisation; colonial cultures, nationalisms, 'respectability' and the invention of 'whiteness'; histories of criminalisation and policing and anti-racist and anti-fascist resistance; theorising culture, community, hybridity and creolisation; postcolonial belonging and diaspora; 'race' and 'beauty'; contemporary racial nationalisms and religious authoritarian movements; and 'race' gender, sexuality and desire.
