How has contemporary scholarship made sense of the postcolonial as an evolving analytic? After three decades of debating the term, can we generate a singular postcolonial method? Featuring nine scholars from across the country alongside Northwestern faculty, this symposium showcases new directions in thinking with the postcolonial and its limits today.
Joy Connolly, President of the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), will be the spring keynote speaker of the Kaplan Critical Conversations in the Humanities dialogue. Connolly will be joined in conversation by Marwan Kraidy, Dean of Northwestern University in Qatar and Professor of Communication Studies.
