Seminar series 2020-2021: Access All Areas – Area Studies After 2020
This academic year, CGPSCEES members and invited guests from across the UK and beyond explored the ways that Area Studies is being re-imagined and re-worked in various fields and disciplines through new research into trans/multi-lingualism, peripheral urbanisms, border media, transnational art practices, and the environmental and energy humanities. Our events took place as online conversations curated by CGPSCEES members with contributions by St Andrews and invited scholars. These conversations are intended to showcase new directions in Area Studies research, but also to reflect on the ethical challenges and political problems that Area Studies can present for contemporary research practice. You can catch up on our recorded events by watching them on our YouTube Channel.
