The seminars will engage with prominent texts of postcolonial scholarship over the decades, and introduce students to the limits and possibilities of critique as a mode of engaging international politics beyond the scope of a Western centric or an American dominated social science. Students will be familiarised with major thinkers, map key debates and concerns that have animated postcolonial international relations thought, and be in the position to appreciate the diversity of research agendas and methodological positions that sit under the umbrella of postcolonial/decolonial IR. The course is divided into the following sections: What need exists for a postcolonial or decolonial International Relations?
