It's often a great test run if you want to present at the main conference and is a great opportunity to meet other postgrad researchers. It is also a FREE conference for members of the SCS.
This is always an amazing conference and we really encourage postgraduates in various academic disciplines and stages of their degree, whose research concerns any aspect of Caribbean Studies, to apply.
The postgraduate conference will be held at @cardiffuni.bsky.social 16-17 April 2026.
Abstract deadline is 24 October 2025.
We are very excited to announce that the CFP for the 11th Annual Society for Caribbean Studies Postgraduate Conference is now live!

The Indo-Caribbean Windrush Oral History Project documents the stories of Indo-Caribbeans who migrated to the UK during or after the Windrush era (1948–1971), and their descendants. It highlights voices often overlooked in Windrush commemorations.

🗓️ Panel Presentation:
Christian will present on the Class and Conflict panel on Thursday, July 3rd (15:30-17:00)
Stay tuned this week to learn more about his work on revolution, masculinism, and Caribbean radical history!
Christian traces these tendencies back to earlier formations in the period, like the Abeng Group (Jamaica) and the New Beginning Movement (Trinidad), offering a regional genealogy of the gendered dynamics that contributed to the impairment of Long Seventies radicalism.
The paper argues that a masculinist political rationality, rooted in the patriarchal political culture of the 1970s, helped to shape both the ideological rigidity and fratricidal method of conflict resolution in parties like the New Jewel Movement (Grenada) and Workers’ Party of Jamaica.
