帝国的肤色：种族意识形态、西印度奴隶制和英国浪漫主义。该课程的目的是对18世纪的英国文化和殖民主义进行跨学科的研究，特别关注身份的形成、种族意识形态的发展和废奴主义的修辞。通过关注西印度群岛和西印度群岛的社会身份和习俗，在英国社会条件的背景下，该项目将促进我们目前对大都市/殖民地关系动态的理解。

Complexions of Empire: racial ideology, West Indian slavery and British romanticism. The aim is to undertake a major interdisciplinary study of British culture and colonialism in the 18th century, with a particular focus on identity formation, the development of racial ideology, and the rhetoric of abolitionism. By focussing on the representation of the West Indies and West Indian social identity and customs, in the context of social conditions in England, the project will advance our current understanding of the dynamic of metropolitan/colonial relations.
