  • Questioning theories of diaspora, transnationalism, hybridity and ‘border crossing’, and their contextualised applications;
  • Exploring the contemporary sociocultural formations of whiteness, ethnicity, racialization, postcolonialism and indigeneity
  • Examining how past and contemporary key scholars can inform current thinking on intercultural knowledge, multiculturalism, race and cultural identity.
