Welcome to the master's programme in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies!
In this room, you will find a preliminary schedule and information about the introduction week, the first week of the programme.
The programme introduction will be held on Monday, 1 September at 13:00. If you have any questions about the start of the programme, feel free to write your question in the Forum for Q&As, so everyone can read the question and answer. You are also welcome to contact us by email. The introduction week is for getting to know the programme, its organisation and ideas, and for students to meet each other and the course coordinators and other teachers. The week also includes the start of the two first courses in the programme: 'Imperialism and the Making of the Modern World' (4KP400), coordinated by Preedee Hongsaton, and 'Criticism and Theory: Current Debates in the Humanities' (4KP420), coordinated by Niladri Chatterjee.
A couple of important information points:
- All times are Central European Time (CET).
- Important administrative information: last date for registering on courses and the programme in LADOK: Sunday, 7 September.
- Where do we meet:
- On campus students: Check in TimeEdit. Note that all students enrolled in the campus programme are expected to attend on campus.
- Distance students: Zoom room in the programme room.
For the course introductions, use the Zoom rooms on the Moodle pages for 4KP400 and 4KP420 separately.
- The Programme runs in hybrid format, i.e. lectures, seminars and group-work take place live (so-called synchronised teaching) for both distance students and campus students. The instructors will connect with Zoom in the classroom, so that students both online and in the classroom participate together.
Please note that the LNU’s Introduction Week in Växjö begins with Arrival Days, 25-26 August, and Orientation Days, 27-28 August.
For issues and questions concerning administrative issues, please email the programme administrator Micael Sverkersson: micael.sverkersson@lnu.se, or the administrative office of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities: fkh@lnu.se.
With best regards,
Mike Classon Frangos and Niladri Chatterjee, Programme coordinators
