Continuing in the tradition of Colonialism Conferences at NUI Galway, we are delighted to announce that the sixth conference in the series – Education and Empire – will take place in Galway from 24th to 26th June 2010.

The aim of this interdisciplinary conference is to explore the role of education in shaping, promoting, and challenging imperial and colonial ideologies, institutions and processes throughout the modern world. We invite papers from every discipline and suggested topics may be found in the Call for Papers.

Since this conference is being in part funded through a grant provided by the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences to an inter-university group to explore the relationship between empire and higher education in Ireland, a strand of the conference will explore the particularity of Irish institutions of higher education in shaping the above processes, and of the role of higher education in shaping Ireland’s ambiguous coloniality.

Details regarding registration and reserved accommodation will be posted soon, and general practical information about accommodation and transport is available at links on this website. Participants are responsible for the conference fee (amount to be confirmed) and the cost of their travel and accommodation.

We look forward to welcoming back old friends to Galway and meeting new ones.
