- **Event Description**: Join us in person for Dr. Shuk Ying Chan’s Book Launch on Postcolonial Global Justice, followed by a drinks receptionAbout this EventIn celebration of the publication of Shuk Ying Chan’s  (Princeton University Press, 2025).Speakers: Shuk Ying Chan (UCL), Adom Getachew (Chicago), Duncan Bell (Cambridge), Desiree Lim (Penn State), David Owen (Southampton)Chair: Richard Bellamy (UCL)Politicians and activists today turn to the language of decolonization to call attention to such issues as cultural and linguistic decline, exploitative foreign investment, and global institutions dominated by superpowers. But does anticolonial thought really provide a model for reimagining world politics? The history of decolonization has not resulted in the liberating transformations that many envisioned. In Postcolonial Global Justice, Shuk Ying Chan proposes a new account of postcolonial global justice centered around the value of social equality. Drawing on the thought of Aimé Césaire, Frantz Fanon, Kwame Nkrumah, and Jawaharlal Nehru, Chan argues that a central theme in anticolonial thought is the rejection of hierarchy and the embrace of equality. These ideas from decolonization, she suggests, give us tools for critiquing contemporary global hierarchies and for rejecting postcolonial nationalism more concerned with policing its citizens than promoting their freedom and equality.Following the wave of postcolonial state-founding in the twentieth century, many in the West saw decolonization as largely accomplished—and yet global politics continue to feature hierarchies that resemble colonial relations. Chan investigates these new and persistent colonial hierarchies across three areas of contemporary world politics: international investment, cultural imperialism, and global governance. Exploring the changes needed to move toward a new, more equal postcolonial world order, Chan offers a vision of global justice rooted in the unrealized egalitarian aspirations of anticolonial thinker-activists, prompting us to rethink what decolonization may mean today.Agenda🕑: 05:00 PM - 06:30 PMDiscussion in the Leolin Price Lecture Theatre, UCL GOSICH🕑: 06:30 PM - 07:30 PMDrinks reception in the Winter Garden, UCL GOSICH
