殖民帝国主义与殖民主义哲学博士

殖民帝国和殖民主义研究建立在我们在非洲，中亚欧亚大陆，南亚和拉丁美洲的不断增长的师资力量的基础上，并与我们在北美和欧洲的核心优势联系在一起。这个领域的前提是，早期和现代时期的跨地区帝国为我们今天赖以生存和运作的全球相互联系和跨国世界奠定了基础。这些帝国，葡萄牙，西班牙，荷兰，英国，法文，德文，奥斯曼帝国，俄罗斯/苏联以及它们的衍生企业（例如太平洋的美国帝国和日本的帝国）亚洲）提供了一个背景，可以比较地追踪从1500年代到现在的思想，形象，机构，商品和商品，实践和人民的流向。而且，这些联系并不仅是从殖民地流
Colonial Empire and Colonialism Studies builds on our growing faculty expertise in Africa, Central Eurasia, South Asia, and Latin America and connects with our core strengths in North America and Europe. This field is premised on the critical assumption that the transregional empires of the early and modern period laid the foundation for the globally inter-connected and trans-national world in which we live and function today. These empires?Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, British, French, German, Ottoman, Russian/Soviet?and their spin-offs (such as the U.S. empire in the Pacific and the Japanese empire in Asia) provide the context in which to comparatively track the flow of ideas, images, institutions, goods and commodities, practices and peoples over time and across the various regions of the world from the 1500s down to the present. These connections, moreover, did not flow only from colonizing to colonized societies, from ?the West? to ?the rest.? Indeed the comparative study of these empires reveals mutually constitutive and interdependent histories that are global in scope even while being revelatory of localized processes.
