Development and Postcolonial Studies Working Paper Series

On this page you will find all previously published issues of the Development and Postcolonial Studies (DPS) Working Paper Series.

The Development and Postcolonial Studies (DPS) Working Paper Series is published by the Chair of Development and Postcolonial Studies at the University of Kassel, until January 2022 supported by the Chair of Global Development at the University Friedensau and the Chair of Global Climate Policy at the University of Hamburg. Since 2023, it cooperates with the Exceed Centre "Global Partnership Network". It provides a forum for innovative research and current debates that provide critical interventions on development studies, postcolonial studies, and their intersection. It welcomes contributions from junior and senior researchers, as well as activist-scholars from Germany and around the world. Manuscripts in English should be sent to Nina Baghery (baghery[at]uni-kassel[dot]de), along with a 50-word biography, an abstract of 150-200 words and up to six keywords.
