‘I think that the quality of the relationships engendered at the IAS is important, giving confidence to interdisciplinary exchanges and encouraging creativity’ Veronica Strang
Dr Muhammad Saidam Royal Scientific Society, Jordan Hatfield College
Tackling environmental challenges requires an interdisciplinary approach, and Muhammad Saidam’s work on the monitoring of water quality and scarcity put him into fruitful contact with geographers, social scientists and chemists at Durham. As well as developing policy papers, Saidam forged links between the Royal Scientific Society in Jordan and Durham’s Department of Chemistry, with a view to future co-operation in the field of micro-algae and biofuel.
Surajit Sarkar
Independent Researcher, India Trevelyan College
As a novelist, filmmaker and historian, Surajit Sarkar engaged broadly with a number of Fellows and Departments across Durham. He prepared for a novel about globalisation, and worked on the development of a large digital repository of oral history from rural India. The contacts he made during his IAS Fellowship will ensure that the latter project is developed with input from the Departments of Geography and Anthropology.
Professor Veronica Strang University of Aukland, New Zealand St John’s College
Veronica Strang's diverse ethnographical research examines the problems of claiming ownership over a fluid resource such as water. This informs a chapter in the forthcoming UNESCO volume, Water and Cultural Diversity, as well as her Insightscontribution. Professor Strang also studied the role of water in indigenous peoples in New Zealand, and she plans to collaborate with IAS Fellow Andrew Baker on a research project about water monitoring in indigenous communities.
