Research Fellowship for Keele Lecturer

Share |

Posted on 24 January 2012

Dr Anthony Carrigan, Lecturer in English, School of Humanities, has begun a five-month research fellowship at the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU), Munich.

Funded by the Center, the fellowship will allow him to develop his current research project, entitled 'Representing Postcolonial Disaster: Conflict, Consumption, Reconstruction'.

This examines the ways in which writers, intellectuals, and artists working in non-western contexts have depicted the social and environmental dimensions of a number of post-World War II crises, and explores how postcolonial aesthetics can enhance disaster management and sustainability planning.

Dr Carrigan was also invited to give a talk on the same topic at the Center's research colloquium this week.
