Institute of Advanced Studies, University College London
Visiting Research Fellow
As a Visiting Research Fellow at UCL’s new and visionary Institute of Advanced Studies, I expanded my thinking and research in new directions to develop several publications and a public talk on the ethical challenges of the image in an age of technology.
I also organised and presented at a Symposium - Troubling Monuments - that brought the Bartlett, Art History and the Institute to engage its audience in a critical conversation about the processes by which artists, researchers and publics make and re-make history and heritage (more on the Symposium here), and convened dialogue on artistic practice and vulnerable states with artists Edmund Clark and Lola Frost.
“The Institute of Advanced Studies harnesses UCL’s extensive expertise across the humanities and social sciences, to investigate received wisdom, to bring the aesthetic and the political into dialogue with one another, to foster collaborative cutting-edge research, to identify and address the urgent ethical and intellectual challenges that face us today, and to confront our responsibilities as citizens of an increasingly contracting and inter-connected world, exploring our place (historically as well as spatially) within it.”
