90approx in attendance, listen to members, inc founding members, stories of what a public intellectual space is & can do ... these are not stories about a "public facing institute" to use the current board's lingo but a real project of public pedagogy for everyone #saveIPCS

Seems a very odd time to be closing something like this... we're in the middle of a war that originates with British colonialism...as does the Rohingya genocide and the Tamil genocide in Sri Lanka...
Help us keep the Institute going. As active members of the Institute of Postcolonial Studies, we have spent years at the Institute cultivating community, growing mutually and bringing life to a space that invited us to engage with questions of the postcolonial.

The Board's decision to close down the Institute has compelled the founding director, Phillip Darby to speak out in clarification of his position on the decision, and in favour of our campaign to keep the Institute open.
