Culture, Diaspora, Ethnicity (Postgraduate Diploma)

... United Kingdom
... Birkbeck University of London

Course Overview

The program examines connections between interlocking colonial histories across the globe and our ordinary, local, everyday life here in contemporary Britain. It focuses on a broad range of subjects such as histories of colonization, systems of slavery, indenture and other forms of colonial labor; histories of the concept of 'race'; colonial cultures, nationalisms, 'respectability' and the invention of 'whiteness'; histories of criminalization; histories of anti-racist and anti-fascist resistance; theorizing culture, community, hybridity, and creolization; postcolonial belonging and diaspora; 'race' and 'beauty'; contemporary racial nationalisms and religious authoritarian movements; 'The War on Terror'; and 'race', gender, sexuality, and desire. The Postgraduate Diploma allows you to explore your interests in these subject areas and enables you to progress to, and complete, the MA Culture, Diaspora, Ethnicity if you wish. Graduates include youth and community workers and workers for organizations and charities whose concerns include criminalization and policing, domestic violence, refugees and asylum, human rights, homelessness, imprisonment, and addiction. They also include barristers and solicitors, psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and psychiatrists, lecturers and social researchers in the areas of sociology, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, urban studies and social policy, teachers, film-makers, activists, curators, architects, novelists, poets, musicians, journalists and those working in the arts and cultural industries.
