Settler Colonialisms / British Empire is a UK-based research network, workshop series and conference for the study of British settler colonialisms, ‘at home’ and abroad. By bringing together researchers across institutions, disciplines and career stages, we hope to advance critical, materialist, comparative and transhistorical approaches to the study of empire and its afterlives.

  • We are currently recruiting PhD students and early-career researchers to participate in three online workshops scheduled for the autumn (registration closes 26 October).

  • We will soon be announcing details and a call for papers for a one-day conference, ‘Settler Circulations: materialist study for the colonial present,’ to be held in London in late April 2026.

  • To stay up-to-date with workshops, conference information and other SC/BE developments, please subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on X / Bluesky (@scbenetwork).
