Purpose

This workshop introduces PhD researchers to the breadth of decolonial, postcolonial, and feminist theories—and especially their interconnections. Rather than treating Western academia as the normative benchmark, the workshop situates it as one perspective among many, highlighting how it can obscure as well as illuminate particular forms of knowledge and experience.

The sessions will foreground work by BIPOC and non-Anglo-European scholars, exploring how their interventions unsettle traditional International Relations scholarship and open up alternative ways of seeing global politics, power, and history. Alongside engagement with core texts, the workshop will create space for PhD researchers to reflect on the relevance of these theories for their own projects and to experiment with concrete strategies for integrating these approaches into their research design, methods, and writing.
