‘Offering me precious time for sustained engagement with the research field and a stimulating interdisciplinary environment committed to critical and creative inquiry, my term spent at the IAS enhanced my research.’ Ben Anderson
‘My experiences at the IAS very much strengthened my belief in interdisciplinarity and demonstrated the value of conversations across the sciences / humanities divide.’ Kathryn Banks
Professor Barbara Adam Cardiff University St Cuthbert’s Society
As founding editor of the influential journal Time and Society, the sociologist Barbara Adam has helped to establish ways of studying and thinking about time across disciplines. During her Fellowship, she evaluated the different ways in which people and societies theorise and prepare for the future.
Dr Ben Anderson Durham University
Ben Anderson’s research as a human geographer has considered the way we experience, govern, and know the future. Within this broad theme, he applied his Fellowship to the specific problem of ‘emergency’: how states and militaries adopt the rhetoric of crisis in the present in order to change democratic structures and pre-empt future threats.
Dr Kathryn Banks Durham University
Kathryn Banks’ research in sixteenth-century French literature and culture is unique in considering apocalypse and prophecy in literary texts rather than religious or political ones. Her ongoing book project therefore benefited from her discussions with IAS Fellows Andrew Crumey (a novelist) and Stephen Taylor (an early-modern historian).
Professor Martin S. Banks University of California at Berkeley, USA Grey College
Martin S. Banks is best known for his work on human visual perception. Exploiting his time at the IAS to step outside the laboratory environment, he reflected with IAS Fellows and Durham colleagues on broad issues to do with virtual reality and vision science. He also put knowledge into practice to help Durham colleagues to construct an innovative 3D display system.
