Elizabeth’s Era: A Panel Discussion on the British Empire and Decolonization

The Columbia Journal of History, the Columbia History Association, and the Columbia Journal of Asia are excited to host a panel discussion on the arc of the British Empire and decolonization under the reign of Elizabeth II, with Professor Susan Pedersen (History) and Professor Isabel Alonso (MESAAS). This discussion will contextualize the many responses—from former British colonies and territories, metropolitan Britain, and the United States—to the recent passing of the Queen and British political developments, raising questions about how the colonial ‘era’ and the decolonization process is remembered. There will be food, and a moderated discussion followed by open Q&A.

The event is from 7:30-8:30pm on Wednesday (November 9) in Fayerweather 411.
