EVENTS
To welcome its 1000th Fellow (Professor Matthew Bampton), IASH celebrates with a Open Day and Reunion.
Professor Samuel Cohn is elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
IASH supports the fourth Fulbright Legacy Lecture, The Ukrainian Crisis: Reflections on Power in Today’s World, presented by Ambassador Jack Matlock.
IASH participates in Untold Edinburgh as part of the second Being Human Festival. The event involves an online curated collection of photographs, and a panel at the National Museum of Scotland, chaired by Allan Little.
In July, IASH partners with the Global Justice Academy for Remembering Srebrenica, a memorial event for the 20th anniversary of the single greatest atrocity committed on European soil since the Second World War.
On behalf of the College, IASH funds and coordinates six International & Interdisciplinary Research Groups (IIRGs). IIRGs are a significant investment towards expanding scholarly networks across national and disciplinary boundaries to foster innovative, impactful research. Groups include SKAPE-Net, the Human Business Initiative and Book History in the Post-Gutenberg World.
Jan-Peter Voß: “I had the opportunity to stay at IASH over the summer with funding from the Centre of Science, Knowledge and Policy at the University of Edinburgh (SKAPE). The main objective was to work on topics and tasks that had emerged from earlier interactions with Professors Christina Boswell, Steve Yearley, Richard Freeman and other colleagues in an international network that had been set up around SKAPE, including the preparation of a journal special issue. While being at IASH, however, I had the opportunity to learn much more than I had envisaged. The interdisciplinary work of international scholars around me let me learn about new issues and perspectives and indeed provided some very interesting inspirations for my own research and ongoing projects. Having the opportunity to escape the professional and private constrictions of daily life back at home for some time allowed concentrated thinking and writing as well as new contacts and inspiration. I highly appreciate the great conditions and atmosphere for productive and creative research at IASH, I enjoy looking back and hope that I will find an opportunity to come again.”
Dorothy Butchard: “I have thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated my time at IASH; I’ve found the fellowship extremely productive in terms of developing my own research, and valued the vibrant intellectual environment and interdisciplinary ethos. I appreciated the informal and welcoming nature of the institute, which made it easy to connect with others and opened up new areas of discussion and debate. Facilities and support have been fantastic… and my time at IASH has been tremendously valuable. I’m certain I will look back at my research at IASH as a crucial turning-point in my academic career.”
Clare Duffy: “My time at IASH was extremely productive and memorable. A really special period when I rediscovered the process of writing a play at a desk, which just so happened to be exactly what I needed at exactly the right time. I really valued the cross-pollination process through the IASH structure of lunches and work-in-progress sharings. I felt that my place as a creative writer was of interest as well to the other fellows.”
