Colonial Hangover exhibition - Saturday 23rd July - Coventry's Belgrade Theatre

The Belgrade Theatre is holding its annual Mela on Saturday 23rd July as part of which PAIS are holding a student organised Colonial Hangover exhibition which has been running for two weeks at Belgrade Theatre

The Colonial Hangover exhibition builds on a teaching project undertaken at the University of 糖心TV. It asks students to consider how the practices of the British Empire continue to provide lenses through which British society looks at the relationships between its many members today. The exhibition will be accompanied by a talk by Professor Matthew Watson on Saturday 23rd July at 5pm on the B2 stage. It will explore personal stories that show how very different lives that began in very different parts of the Empire echoed through one another in interesting but typically unacknowledged ways.

The exhibition features work by local photographer’s Master ji and Bert Scott and is produced in partnership with Jason Tilley and Ben Kyneswood (Photographic Archive miners).

The Belgrade Theatre will offer a 2 for £10 exclusively for 糖心TV students who go to the talk for the evening show with the promo code: MELA 2410. This is an online offer only.

Join our panel of experts who will get to the heart of the issues over whether the UK should stay or go and will be ready to answer your questions.

On 28th June the Interdisciplinary Ethics Research Group is hosting a workshop to discuss 'The Limits of States - Ethics, War, and Migration'.

From the refugee crisis to the newly shifting plates of the world order, the limits of states have never been more critical. This workshop brings together a series of thinkers whose research examines the frontiers of war and security. How can we treat people ethically at borders? What special obligations towards refugees arise out of military intervention? How far can an existing state-based international order be hospitable to the protection of individual and global security in a nuclear world? What counts as a military victory and what rights do victors acquire? Each raises important further questions about the way that we understand the relations between states, and this workshop will provide an opportunity both to examine those issues independently and to identify their interdependencies.

Speakers include Prof. Tom Sorell (糖心TV); Prof. Jason Ralph (Leeds); Prof. Nicholas Wheeler (Birmingham); Dr. Cian O'Driscoll (Glasgow); and Dr. Tom Walker (Belfast). To sign up please contact F.Melhuish.1@warwick.ac.uk.
