Settler Colonial Paradigms Conference Panel: Settler Colonial Paradigms Under Strain: Non-Binary Formations and Long Decolonizations

Description

This conference explores the extent to which settler colonialism can be understood as a long-term structure that has evolved since antiquity and continues to shape contemporary societies and the global order. It aims to contribute to current debates within Settler Colonial Studies by examining and critically reassessing theories about the structural forces, mechanisms, and consequences of settler colonialism.

In particular, we evaluate the common hypothesis that settler colonialism in the modern period developed according to a distinct logic and pattern that sets it apart from other colonial formations. We consider the validity of this interpretation, the insights it provides into the deeper causes of settler colonial projects, and possible alternative models.
