‘I hope I made no secret of the fact that I think the IAS is an amazing concept, and that I enjoyed my time there.’ Iain Chambers
Professor Iain Chambers
Università degli Studi di Napoli L'Orientale, Italy St Cuthbert’s Society
Iain Chambers completed the first chapter of a book on Mediterranean Blues: Musics, Modernities and Postcolonial Melancholia. As a project in its gestation at the time of his Fellowship, the interdisciplinary environment of the IAS helped him to consider the global scope of critical issues to do with water.
Dr Shlomi Dinar
Florida International University, USA University College
Shlomi Dinar developed political work examining how the treaties that regulate the ownership of water can be made more robust and flexible in the light of unpredictable climate change. He worked with colleagues in the International Boundaries Research Unit (Geography), and Economics and Finance, with a view to initiating ongoing collaborative projects.
Ranjitsinh Gaekwad Maharaja of Baroda, India Grey College
As artist in residence, Ranjitsinh Gaekwad freely explored the theme of water from the perspective of an Indian and Eastern spiritual and artistic tradition. Of his various artworks produced during this period, the most prominent was a large sculpture installed in Durham University’s Botanic Garden. This was entitled ‘Vessels of Life,’ and was inspired by the pots used by women to collect water in India.
Professor Monica M. Grady Open University, UK St. Mary’s College
Space scientist Monica Grady used her time at the IAS to develop a series of research strands, including a paper re-evaluating the nature of water on Mars, and an Atlas of Meteorites. She will continue to work as an external supervisor for fourth-year undergraduate projects in planetary sciences at Durham.
