Constructing Coloniality: British Imperialism and the Built Environment

May 12-14, 2023
London
United Kingdom

Registrations are now open for this three-day conference, hosted by The Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain (SAHGB) in collaboration with UCL and the London School of Architecture. Discounted places are available for SAHGB members, students, and staff members of UCL and the LSA.

The conference takes as its theme the coloniality of architecture and heritage in relation to the British Empire, from the early years of expansionism and the escalation of the slave trade in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, through the physical and political force wielded in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the development of racial capitalism, to the subsequent and ongoing struggles for independence, freedom and justice.
