My name is Emma Kluge. I was recently appointed as a permanent Lecturer in Colonial/Postcolonial and Environmental History at the University of Exeter (Cornwall). Prior to this, I was a Max Weber postdoctoral fellow at the European University Institute (2021-23). I hold a PhD in History from the University of Sydney. My work focuses on the history of decolonisation, anticolonial activism, and global governance in the Pacific.
I’m currently working on a book manuscript ‘The Limits to Decolonisation: West Papua and the Politics of Self-determination in the 1960s.’ I’m also working on a second project exploring anticolonialism and environmentalism in Oceania.
