The international Lusophone Postcolonial Research Network coordinates, develops, and promotes research and teaching activities centered on colonial and postcolonial issues involving Lusophone countries and their historical areas of influence. The Network brings together scholars and students from Universities linked in the World Universities Network (WUN) engaged in such studies.
The Network came about after preliminary talks following a successful conference on Portuguese Cultural Studies, held at the School for Advanced Research, University of London, in 2000. The results of that meeting, organized by Paulo de Medeiros and Hilary Owen, were subsequently published in the Luso-Brazilian Review in 2002, and the Network, linking Utrecht, Manchester and Madison was established.
The first meeting of the Network took place at Utrecht on 2005 and that conference provided for a number of interested scholars from several WUN Universities as well as from others, to come together and start planning a series of combined activities. Further publications and conferences are scheduled for 2006 and beyond.
