AHRC Early Career Fellowship
Dr Anthony Carrigan, Research Institute for Humanities, has been awarded a prestigious AHRC Early Career Fellowship for a project entitled Representing Postcolonial Disaster: Conflict, Consumption, Reconstruction.
The project's overarching aim is to complete a comparative study on literary representations of postcolonial disasters that will bring interdisciplinary disaster studies into sustained dialogue with humanities-based research, and seeks to inform future developments in post-disaster policy and practice.
The award, which lasts for 24 months, will fund the writing of a monograph and other collaborative academic outputs, alongside a range of leadership development and international networking activities, public engagement and impact events. The funding level is still to be confirmed by the AHRC but will be in the region of £200,000.
