Nice to hear these exciting ideas!
My dissertation thesis is current in its formative stages, but currently it involves applying post-colonial theory to Beowulf, in order to develop our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon migratory period - primarily researching the ideologies and attitudes that led the Anglo-Saxons to impose a cultural apartheid over native Britons and the effect this had on the diffusion of Anglo-Saxon culture amongst the British population.
Sounds like utter *******s when I imagine someone else reading it, but it makes sense in my head - honest!
