Constitution of the Postcolonial Studies Group
From cunydsc.org
The Postcolonial Studies Group (PSG) is an inter-disciplinary organization at the CUNY Graduate Center. We stage events loosely related to the field of postcolonial studies and transnational studies; this field encompasses both the study of the history, cultures, arts and literatures of postcolonial peoples, as well as theories of postcoloniality and of the transnational. Our events have included lectures and panels by CUNY and visiting scholars--students and faculty alike--as well as panel discussions, and film screenings. Each event also has a social component, since these events offer an opportunity for those working in various disciplines to come together, network, and consider working together in future.
We are open to all GC students, though we also welcome participation of GC and other CUNY faculty and students, as well as those from other institutions. Our events have always been free of charge, and our only means of support thus far has been our DSC funds.
We maintain a listserv with over 50 members; our active participants have included students in English, Art History, Urban Education, Comparative Lit., Anthropology, Philosophy, Psychology and Theater.
Anyone who wishes to help organize is welcome, though currently the volunteer co-coordinators are Fiona Lee, Lily Saint, and Kate Moss.
