Study Groups
The CRSI has a number of study groups working on particular themes which often cross a number of our formal clusters.
Current Centre study groups include:

The Senses, Globalisation and Postcolonialism
This research group has been examining various approaches to place-making in and through the senses, in the context of globalisation and postcolonialism. So far topics have included: distinctions between place/space; place making among Filipina domestic workers in Hong Kong; the operation of scale in different levels of spatial experience and social relations; and the role of haptic sensibility in new technology. Activities so far have included a reading group.

South Asia and Postcolonialism
This study group will develop the wider themes of the research cluster and the centre's theme of social inclusion/exclusion by focussing on the exciting theoretical directions on post-colonial theory and subaltern studies that have emerged from the study of South Asia.
