The Institute of Postcolonial Studies was founded in 1996 as an independent venue for the exploration of postcolonial scholarship, politics and creative practice.
The Institute hosts a wide variety of public events, performances and presentations, often bringing together scholars, artists, activists and larger publics to explore and respond to the legacies of the colonial encounter in Australia and globally.
At the core of the activities and projects we aim to foster and support there is one central guiding concern: how can we best respond to the pressing challenges of coexistence in the present?
The Institute is the home of the scholarly journal Postcolonial Studies.
Membership is open to all.

Dear members & friends of IPCS,
It is with much regret that we write to advise that until further notice all public events at Curzon Street will be postponed.

Postcolonial Studies is the first journal specifically aimed at publishing work which explores the various facets—textual, figural, spatial, historical, political and economic—of the colonial encounter, and the ways in which this encounter shaped the West and non-West alike.

The Institute of Postcolonial Studies runs a lively public program where pressing concerns of the present are raised and responded to in critical and creative ways. From 2019 we are embarking on an ambitious new trajectory, with an aim to generate income in support of practically engaged research projects that address the challenges of coexistence.
