hela Sverige Welcome to Linnaeus University! A place for knowledge, ideas and development. For growth potential and a belief in the future. In Småland and in the world.
The Linnaeus University Centre for Concurrences in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies is a leading centre for Colonial and Postcolonial Studies in Europe and the major research environment for global and non-European history in Scandinavia. As part of an effort to develop its research and post-graduate training, the Centre is now looking for a postdoctoral researcher in the field of global humanities oriented toward colonial and postcolonial studies.
The emerging field of global humanities in research and higher education seeks to take on several of the challenges that result from the intensified global contacts and cultural encounters in the course of the recent and modern history of the world. Global humanities includes (but is not limited to) studies of global interaction in history, world literature, cultural and religious encounters and non-European (including indigenous) cultures and civilizations. Global humanities looks beyond the predominant Western, Eurocentric perspective and thus stimulates the dialogue between European humanist traditions that have developed mainly outside the western world, or as a result of the interaction between different civilizations, particularly in colonial and postcolonial contexts. The field both challenges and develops the dominant traditions of Western humanistic scholarship and encourages comparative and interdisciplinary research on a global scale. In doing so, global humanities seeks to contribute to increased intercultural understanding in the contemporary world and to respond to many of today's most pressing global challenges, such as climate change, global inequality, ethnic, racial and religious conflicts, migration and integration.
