British Colonial History

Tentatively titled, “Transnational Actors in a Gendered Anglo-World,” our panel seeks to elucidate women’s activism in the transnational space of the Anglo-World. Drawing from James Belich’s identification of an “Anglo-World” created by British settler-colonialism, presenters will explore how women acted as transnational arbiters of causes as diverse as nineteenth-century evangelism through preaching, and colonial women’s espousal of national identities through international feminism during the interwar. 

The above book launch announced yesterday will take place on Monday, March 8, 2021, at 4 p.m. (GMT).
