The proposed research project will bring together the fields of ludology (research into game and gaming), modern material culture, museum studies and postcolonial theory in a novel way. It will examine how colonial content in board games reflects wider media approaches to colonial histories and critically evaluate the role that board games can play in encouraging public engagement with postcolonial theories in museum environments. Through the creation of associated learning resources for primary and secondary teachers, the research project will help to address the lack of diversity across the National Curriculum and provide teachers with much needed, professional standard resources that are free to access and presented in a useable format.

拟议的研究项目将以一种新颖的方式将游戏学(游戏和博彩研究)、现代物质文化、博物馆研究和后殖民理论等领域结合在一起。它将研究棋类游戏中的殖民内容如何反映更广泛的媒体对殖民历史的态度，并批判性地评估棋类游戏在鼓励公众参与博物馆环境中的后殖民理论方面所起的作用。通过为中小学教师创建相关的学习资源，研究项目将有助于解决整个国家课程缺乏多样性的问题，并为教师提供急需的专业标准资源，这些资源可以免费获取并以可使用的形式呈现。
