Fellowship Winning UoN Scholar to be featured on Radio National
The University of Newcastle’s Associate Professor, Maryanne Dever has won the inaugural Humanities Research Centre/Gender Institute (HRC/GI) Fellowship.
The fellowship will allow Associate Professor Dever to spend two months conducting research at the Australian National University in Canberra.
“The aim of the new HRC/GI Fellowship is to deepen research engagement on questions of gender and sexuality at the ANU,” Associate Professor Dever said.
“I will be working on my next book, ‘Paper: Materiality and the Archived Page’ which poses new questions about intimacy and materiality as they relate to research practice in archival settings.”
Associate Professor Dever will also be featured on an upcoming Radio National ‘Hindsight’ program edition called ‘Archive Fever’ focused on the politics of working in personal archives.
“I’ll be talking about my research into archived personal letters, especially those of film star Greta Garbo and those of Australian writer, Marjorie Barnard,” Associate Professor Dever said.
Associate Professor Dever co-convenes the international research network 'Archive Futures' and network members Catherine Hobbs (Head of Manuscripts, Libraries and Archives Canada) and Linda Morra (Bishops, University) will also be interviewed.
The programme airs on 22 September at 1pm and is repeated on 26 September at 1pm. http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/hindsight/ Hindsight is Radio National's history programme.
