Attention scholars: to mark the 20th anniversary of Patrick Wolfe's "Settler Colonialism and the Elimination of the Native," SETTLER COLONIAL STUDIES is soliciting reflections/ critiques for a special issue on Wolfe and his influence. Details below. Please circulate widely!
CALL FOR PAPERS: Patrick Wolfe’s Settler Colonial Theory, 20 Years On
This special issue of Settler Colonial Studies aims to collaboratively examine the residual
impacts of Patrick Wolfe’s influential essay, “Settler Colonialism and the Elimination of the
Native."

• What did this essay do to shift or situate the conversation of postcolonial studies
towards settler colonialism?
• What chord did it strike that made it so widely taken up? And how have the
essay’s key concepts travelled globally?
• How do the essay’s arguments hold up when considered in settler colonial
contexts not addressed in Wolfe’s essay.

Our aim is to curate a special issue by inviting a mix of scholars from across the globe,
Indigenous and non-Indigenous, established and newer voices, to comment on the essay in
2026 as a way to examine the current state of the field. We seek research article contributions
of 5,000 words that will undergo double-blind peer-review and also encourage reflective
essays and creative responses to “Settler Colonialism and the Elimination of the Native.”
We will hold an online symposium in June 2026, where a working version of accepted essays
will be shared with scholars from across the globe. Our target deadlines are as follows:
• 350 word abstracts by March 15, 2026;
• Conference version of the paper for the online symposium in June 2026;
• Submitted draft for peer review, October 2026;
• Revised and final draft for publication, Jan 2027;
• Publication: May 2027.
Please send abstracts of 350 words with a 1 page CV to: Rebecca Weaver-Hightower,
rebeccawh@vt.edu or raweav1@yahoo.com. Please make sure the subject line indicates the
special issue. Abstracts will be acknowledged with an email. If you do not receive a response
within 2 weeks, please email Rebecca (in case your original email was unintentionally filtered
out by her email program).
