The Colonial Hangover Project
The Magazine
Launched in January 2020, the magazine aims to build on the work of the project to create a space to explore academic research on the hidden legacies of empire.
We aim to create an equal platform, to allow academics and students, from a range of backgrounds and age groups, to discuss in their own way how the hangover of colonialism has impacted their life and work.
Reflecting the way in which these historical legacies impact everyone in different ways, the Magazine will be sharing a wide range of content - from comment pieces, book reviews to spoken word poems.

Daniel Ben-ShaulAs the memories of colonialism begin to fade from the national psyche, it is more vital than ever that the next generation continues to learn about the impact of empire on British society and culture. The Colonial Hangover Magazine is unique, in that for the first time it gives students and academics a level platform to share how these legacies have impacted. This is so important as it emphasises how Empire shapes the lives of everyone - from all backgrounds, and all corners of the UK and Commonwealth. |
