NACBS 2018 Panel: Decolonization, Diaspora, Citizenship

Daniel Joesten Discussion

Greetings!

I am trying to put together a panel for NACBS 2018 in Providence this October.  My paper looks at the establishment of the Irish Free State as an early case of twentieth century decolonization that raised fundamental questions about citizenship, imperial belonging, and Britain’s immigration practices.  More specifically, my paper explores the impact these questions (and decolonization) had on the Irish diaspora in the U.K. and for the Irish working within the greater imperial network.  I am open to taking the panel in any direction, as my paper could mesh well with a variety of topics.  If you have a paper that focuses on decolonization, diasporas, citizenship, transfer of power, reworking of identities, interwar Britain, or any other topic that would align well, please contact me through this post, or email me at dmjoeste@ucsc.edu.
