<<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. Angela 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.

Message for CCWS list

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 -- Professor Angela Smith Director, Centre of Commonwealth Studies University of Stirling, Stirling FK9 4LA Tel +44 (0)1786 467503 Fax +44 (0)1786 466210 Email ams1(a)stir.ac.uk http://www.stir.ac.uk/departments/arts/commonwealth/ -- The University of Stirling is a university established in Scotland by charter at Stirling, FK9 4LA.
