The White Spaces Postgraduate Network invites you to attend its inaugural conference, entitled New Territories in Critical Whiteness Studies.

The conference will serve as both an opportunity for PGR students to present research and a chance for members of the network to meet and discuss the future direction of the PGR arm. Over the second day, participants will work to define the White Spaces Postgraduate network by developing goals for the network, hearing presentations on potential resources (such as online forums), establishing research connections, and mapping out future network events.
