Graduate students who choose to pursue an area of strength in Imperial and Post-Colonial Societies will examine the multiple ways colonial empires transformed, exchanged, hybridized, or were resisted by societies in every corner of the globe, and explore diverse themes including, but not limited to, cross-cultural encounters, unequal power relations, identity formation and representation, subaltern struggles, paradoxes of empire, and the limits of the post-colony.
