‘I am personally very appreciative of being included this year… I have enjoyed enormously the IAS seminars and lectures on this topic [Water], and to much profit.’ Marilyn Strathern
Professor Dame Marilyn Strathern University of Cambridge, UK St. Mary’s College
Marilyn Strathern's projects at the IAS ranged widely. She refined study on research policy and accountability in universities; prepared a new project on Papua New Guinea; and studied in the field of organ and tissue donation in preparation for her role as chair of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics Working Party. She was also able to work on the final phases of a joint research project (with the Departments of Anthropology at Durham, Cambridge and Sussex) on bioethics, completed in late 2010.
Dr Jennifer Terry Durham University
Two outcomes from Jennifer Terry's research in Diaspora literature were the development of her monograph on Mapping theBlack Diaspora in African American and Caribbean Fictionand the editing of a special journal issue on Toni Morrison. Her Fellowship put Terry in close contact with colleagues from other disciplines, including Fellows Paola Ceccarelli and Iain Chambers.
Professor Ezio Todini University of Bologna, Italy Hatfield College
Ezio Todini benefited from his Fellowship by being able to work on the digital modelling of water flows, a crucial topic in relation to predicting the effect of floods. Todini also had an input into the public policy work done at Durham's Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience.
Professor Ian Wright Open University, UK St Mary’s College
The idea that there might be such a thing as a galactic water cycle is a very new one. The creative space of the IAS enabled Ian Wright to plant this question with Durham postgraduates, opening up an inspirational future line of research with a view to eventual publication. He also worked with colleagues in Physics to help them to form links with the NASA Lunar Science Institute, and explored the possibilities of a science-humanities research network to discuss the spiritual issues raised by finding life off Earth.
