reading groups

We hope to facilitate informal infrastructures in the form of reading groups to encourage engagement on academic topics and create richly collaborative spaces for members and interested non-members alike to discuss works in progress, contemporary trends in their field and more. Please e-mail the board if you would like to initiate an additional reading group.

Postcolonial Environmental Humanities Working Group:

As Early Career Researchers working on environment, postcolonialism, and the Anthropocene would know, reading about the subject in an interdisciplinary manner allows us to tackle this “fuzzy” object with more clarity and care. Now in its second “season”, this working group aims to create a collaborative space for researchers working in postcolonial studies to have peer group who would read and give each other feedback on works-in-progress and have reading group sessions.

The reading group would aim to meet once a semester where members of the working group would be able to attend reading group sessions, or such sessions themselves, and be able to have a mini colloquium in a convivial and collaborative space.

Scholars who are interested to attend these reading sessions, or a lead reading sessions themselves may write to Priyam Goswami Choudhury (goswamichoudhury@uni-potsdam.de) for more information.
