Affiliates
The IAS administers the award of three annual Sir Derman Christopherson/Sir James Knott Foundation Fellowships on behalf of the University’s Research Committee. These allow gifted Durham University researchers a term’s leave from teaching, with recipients automatically granted IAS Affiliate status.
Professor Carlo Caruso School of Modern Languages and Cultures
Although Adonis is a well-studied mythical figure of the Classical period, little research has been done into the way the Adonis myth was treated in Renaissance culture. Carlo Caruso’s monograph on The Adonis Myth in the Italian Renaissance, which he was able to work on during this Fellowship, will thus offer new insights into this area.
Dr Anna Leone Department of Archaeology
Anna Leone’s research investigates the change of state religion that occurred all over the Roman Empire, and the switch from paganism to Christianity. Her Fellowship aimed at the completion of a book that will analyse archaeological and historical evidence, in order to shed new light on this moment of transition from one Empire and religious tradition to another.
Professor Tom Shanks Department of Physics
Tom Shanks is a Principal Investigator on a project to build a 3D map of galaxies, stars and quasars in the Southern Hemisphere. Shanks’ fellowship was spent co-ordinating between the team working on the telescope in Chile, and those in Edinburgh, where its data will be collated and prepared.
