The Race, Ethnicity and Post-Colonial Studies (REPS) PhD Network

The Race, Ethnicity and Post-Colonial Studies (REPS) PhD Network, is a vibrant community of PhD student scholars, supported by faculty, who work on research and study in the area of race, ethnicity and post-colonials studies. This network has grown organically over the last five years or so to become a creative and supportive community to share our research and ideas with one another.

This network first began in London through collaborations between students at the LSE, City University, Goldsmiths College, and most recently, Metropolitan and Queen Mary, however, recognizing that many of the faculty and scholars who have been actively involved in this network have moved to different institutions, and that there is a lot of good work happening outside of London, we have decided to use this year to transition our London-based grouping into a larger national network of student scholars.

The major activity we do is an annual REPS PhD Symposium-a two-day PhD workshop held in the summer which serves as a forum for PhD researchers to exchange ideas, present new work, receive critical feedback and work towards collaborative ends in collaboration and participation with some of the leading scholars working on these issues. This year will be the fifth consecutive year of this intimate research workshop, which will be held at the London School of Economics on June 12-13, 2014. This years’ event is jointly sponsored by the School of Social Policy and the Department of Sociology, and it is organized by a REPS student working group committee based out of the LSE.

What has grown out of this workshop is a community. As we are growing, we are interested to connect with other PhD student groups at partner institutions outside of London working in this field who would be open to organizing and hosting a satellite REPS event this year (i.e. a seminar or workshop with faculty or a panel built around a particular topic or theme at a home institution outside of London), in order to start building relationships and community with each other around our work. The hope is that London-based REPS students would be able come to the satellite event and that this intentional work and sharing together will open up broader participation and collaboration in our annual symposium and more generally in our network, so that maybe in the next year or two, REPS PhD Symposium will be organized by a committee of REPS scholars at a university in the Midlands.
