UBC Campus
July 25, 2024

Our research cluster is one of 45 research excellence clusters led by UBC researchers that received funding through the 2024/25 Grants for Catalyzing Research Clusters (GCRC) competitions. 

According to the Office of the Vice-President Research + Innovation, "Research Excellence Clusters are interdisciplinary networks of researchers addressing societal and cultural problems, and working together to solve challenges that transcend traditional boundaries associated with departments, institutions, and funding agencies".

Our research group seeks to create an interdiciplinary platform for scholars working on anticolonialism and global history to explore the meaning of global political theory further and theorize the ways in which land and sea have bridged the anti-colonial world in the past as well as explore the promises - and limits - of anticolonialism as a normative resource for the the future global age. The ultimate goal is to collectively advance the agenda of creating a global framework for studying anticolonial thought and to create a Center for the Study of Global Political Thought at UBC.

We are honoured to have been selected, and look forward to the Fall of 2024 when our work as a cluster begins.
