Dr. Katie Donington, post-doctoral fellow at the University of Nottingham and part of the Antislavery Usable Past project, has been awarded with a British Academy grant worth £15,000 that supports Early Career Researchers (ECRs) in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
This project entitled "Re-presenting slavery: making a public usable past" will bring together emerging UK slavery scholars to form an early career researchers (ECR) network for the purposes of engaging the public with their research. Participants in the programme will be offered training and advice on how to make their research accessible and how to gain funding for arts based public engagement projects. Each workshop will explore how the subject of slavery intersects with different strategies of representation within the arts, public history and education.
Congratulations to Katie!
