Collaborations
The Nicholson Center is keen to collaborate with scholars in all disciplines, locally and internationally, whose work impacts on the broad field of British Studies. Here are some of our current and recent collaborations.

The Nicholson Center is delighted to join Postcolonial Print Cultures, an international network of scholars researching postcolonial print cultures. We look forward to developing this collaboration.

Chicoco is one of the most innovative grassroots organizations in Africa. In spring 2022, the Nicholson Center was excited to co-host a visit by one of Chicoco’s foundersand 2022 Harvard University School of Design Loeb Fellow, Michael Uwemedimo.
The Folger Consortium
The Folger Institute was founded in 1970 as a unique collaborative endeavor of the Folger Shakespeare Library and two Washington-area universities. In the succeeding years, its horizon has expanded from the local to the regional to the international, and the consortium now numbers41 colleges and universities, including the University of Chicago. With support from such agencies as the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Institute offers seminars, conferences, and colloquia in fields represented in the Folger Library collections.
