Roundtable Colonial, Postcolonial and Decolonial Working Group

Description

Stuart Hall's work is vital to academic understandings of culture, race, media representations, discursive formations and historical epochs (specifically that of neoliberal capitalism). That being said, it is rarely engaged within the field of international relations, which remains sceptical of cultural and sociological approaches to research. Despite its huge contributions to cultural studies, a gap in Hall's work exists with regards to sexuality and gender. Responding to both of these silences, this roundtable brings together a range of leading IR scholars who deploy aspects of Hall's work in ways that are attentive to sexuality and gender to make sense of crisis/transformation in world politics. Included in the panel are innovative applications of Hall's work to diverse topics including global capitalism, contemporary moral panics, migration, anti-gender politics, security and (post)coloniality.
