<<Indrajit Hazra CCWS>>
Please will you send this out to the CCWS mailing list, with the message
I give below? Thanks. Please make sure that Indrajit himself, all the
pgs, William Barnes-Gutteridge and James Valentine are on the mailing
list, plus the people that I asked you to add last time.
If you can print copies of the poster - perhaps in just one fairly
bright colour - I'll ask the pgs to put them up.

I attach a notice about the next meeting of the Centre of Commonwealth
Studies. The speaker will be Indrajit Hazra, the current holder of the
Charles Wallace India Trust fellowship in creative writing. I do hope
that you can come. The paper promises to be both interesting and
entertaining, addressing as it does an issue that is being widely
discussed in Postcolonial Studies. Richard Alford, the recently
appointed secretary to the Charles Wallace India Trust, will be present
at the seminar; there will be drinks after the paper. Everyone is
welcome to attend.

Dear All,
I'm sorry that the seminar programme for the Centre of Commonwealth
Studies is late this semester - we had another possible speaker whose
visit depended on funding which, after prolonged negotiations, did not
materialise.
The programme as it stands is short but inviting, beginning with a paper
by Dr Phia Steyn in the History Department, which combines African and
environmental history. The current Charles Wallace India Trust fellow,
Indrajit Hazra, will speak on an issue that is increasingly interesting
scholars and readers of postcolonial writing, and Professor Huggan from
Leeds, a well-known postcolonial theorist, will visit us in May to give
a paper. There are two other papers/readings in the offing which we hope
will happen.
I attach the programme and hope to see you at the meetings.
<<Programme Spring 2005>>
Best wishes,
Angela
