Major Leverhulme Research Fellowship for CAMC<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Patricia Phillippy has been awarded a Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship. This three-year fellowship will support Pat\u2019s research and publication of a monograph, A Floating World: Memory, Climate and Race in the British Atlantic<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project investigates premodern climate change and its entanglement with memory and race in works by Alicia Dudley (d. 1669), Elizabeth Cary (d. 1639) and Anne Bradstreet (d. 1672), and in archival histories of Black women in slavery or service in this period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This research explores how the changed global ecology emerging from European colonial expansion is registered in memorial creations and parochial settings in seventeenth-century England and colonial New England. This transdisciplinary project develops a view of premodern climate change as anthropogenic and racialized, and reveals how local phenomena register global conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pat\u2019s Fellowship breaks new ground in being the first Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship ever won at Coventry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PhD Studentship Opportunity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Atlantic Stories, Colonial Legacies and the Bodleian Library, 1650-1800<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Introduction<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This project examines the legacies of English transatlantic colonialism as preserved in the collections of the Bodleian Libraries. It investigates the history of the Bodleian collections and the Library\u2019s own institutional history, bringing to light the forms in which the Library has preserved an archive of colonial history and imperial power. This project responds to an \u2018archival turn\u2019, in which archives, methods, and practice are being interrogated. Much of the impetus for this comes from recent attention to institutional colonial legacies, precipitated by the British manifestation of the American Black Lives Matter movement and movements for post-colonial justice such as \u2018Rhodes Must Fall\u2019. These national and international movements have forced new, urgent attention on public legacies of colonialism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In response, this project proposes a series of case studies from within the Bodleian\u2019s collections 1650-1800, to highlight early modern Atlantic colonial legacies and curatorial practice. Research questions include: what can an archival object or set of objects tell us about colonial activity? How has information about these objects been represented in Bodleian finding aids, both historically and currently? How has that created absences or silences relating to the history of empire?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researcher will benefit from a multi-disciplinary team of supervisors and advisors. It is anticipated that the student will follow a two-month internship at the Bodleian to produce a mini research project that will support the dissemination of the PhD research and enhance future employability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funding<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is a fully-funded studentship, including tuition fees and stipend\/bursary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The successful candidate will receive comprehensive research training including technical, personal and professional skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All researchers at Coventry University (from PhD to Professor) are part of the Doctoral College and Centre for Research Capability and Development, which provides support with high-quality training and career development activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
