Introducing Our Interns for 2023

Amy Life and Rutendo Hoto

Hello, everyone! My name is Rutendo, and I am very excited to introduce myself as the new IASH and RACE.ED Communications and Events Intern. I was born and raised in Zimbabwe, currently study International Relations and International Law, and will be going into my 3rd year this September. Being from Zimbabwe, I have always been curious about decolonial studies and race studies, especially from the Global South perspective, which is what drew me to this internship.

Information is often characterized as facts that float effortlessly across time and space. But before the nineteenth century, information was seen as a process that included a set of skills enacted through media on a daily basis. How, why, and where were these mediated facts and skills learned? Concentrating on manuscripts created by students in Scotland, Durham University’s Matthew Daniel Eddy will give a talk about his new book Media and the Mind: Art, Science and Notebooks as Paper Machines, 1700-1830.
