The Board's decision to close down the Institute has compelled the founding director, Phillip Darby to speak out in clarification of his position on the decision, and in favour of our campaign to keep the Institute open.

Join us for the open meeting tonight 7pm via Zoom.

Professor uncle Tony Birch eloquently explains that fundamental change is often met with refusal and the need for dialogue to save such an important political and intellectual project. #saveipcs

A great letter emphasizing the importance of dedicated places where we can think together...and talk #saveIPCS #transformIPCS

It is critical that the Institute of Postcolonial Studies remains open given the role it’s played in hosting so many critical Indigenous voices and scholarship! Share and support the campaign Save the Institute of Postcolonial Studies (IPCS)

Seems a very odd time to be closing something like this... we're in the middle of a war that originates with British colonialism...as does the Rohingya genocide and the Tamil genocide in Sri Lanka...
