[Commlist] Call - CMNH Visiting Research Fellows 2022/23

*Call – CMNH Visiting Research Fellows 2022/23***

The Centre for Memory, Narrative and Histories 
<https://www.brighton.ac.uk/cmnh/index.aspx>(CMNH) at the University of 
Brighton invites applications for Visiting Research Fellows (VRF) to 
spend time at the Centre *in the autumn semester (September-January 
2022-23) OR the spring semester (February-June 2023) of 2022/23* to 
pursue their research within CMNH and develop collaborations with its 
members.

CMNH fosters research excellence in modern cultural history and cultural 
memory studies.

Our researchers investigate the complex relationships between past, 
present and future, foregrounding subordinate and marginalised history 
and memory in relation to official narrative, and focusing on questions 
of power, identity and experience. CMNH is committed to 
interdisciplinary research that challenges social inequalities, 
oppressions and injustices, interrogates received meanings of the past, 
and produces alternative accounts that help to generate transformative 
thinking and politics. We bring together researchers who approach their 
mutual interests from diverse angles, utilising research methods, 
concepts and theories from history, cultural studies and memory studies, 
and drawing also on, literary, visual and screen studies and narratology 
to explore forms of representation in the past and about the past; on 
social anthropology and cultural geography to address relations between 
temporality and space/place; on psychoanalysis and sociology to situate 
understandings of the past, present and future within structures of 
selfhoods and society. Our interdisciplinary research is organised 
principally, but not exclusively, according to these set of themes:

·Reparative histories: empire, ‘race’ and anticolonialism

·Medical histories, memories and narratives 

·War, conflict and ‘post-conflict’ transformation

·Cultural Heritage

·Historical literary cultures and memory

·Visual culture, history and memory

We particularly welcome applications that address these research areas. 
Further details about these and our members can be found on CMNH’s 
webpage <https://www.brighton.ac.uk/cmnh/index.aspx>.
