Pamela Scully, Professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and of African Studies, and Vice Provost, Undergraduate Affairs
“Settler Societies after Colonialism: South Africa and the USA”
Pamela Scully, who has most recently co-authored a book on Writing Transnational History, will discuss the concept of Settler Society as it has been applied historically and in the contemporary era. Using her expertise in South African and transnational history, and her experience as someone who grew up under Apartheid, Professor Scully will discuss similarities and differences between South Africa and the USA (with brief forays into the situations in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) as a way of theorizing our contemporary US moment.
