Professor Andy Wood, University of East Anglia University College October – December 2012
Andy Wood is Professor of Social History at the University of East Anglia, where he has been teaching since 1996. He has held lectureships at the University of Liverpool and the University of East London, as well as a Scouloudi Research Fellowship at the Institute of Historical Research and a British Academy Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at University College London. He has published three books: The 1549 rebellions and the making of early modern England(2007); Riot, rebellion and popular politics in early modern England (2002) and The politics of social conflict: the Peak Country, 1520-1770 (1999). His fourth book is due to be published by Cambridge University Press in 2013 as The memory of the people: custom and popular senses of the past in early modern England. This is based on 20 years of archival work. His work has appeared in a number of collections of essays and in international journals including Past and Present; Journal of Social History; Historical Journal; Social History; T
ransactions of
the Royal Historical Society; and International Review of Social History. He was educated at Marple Hall High School in Stockport; at the University of York; and at the University of Cambridge. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.
While at the IAS, Wood will contribute to the annual theme of ‘Time’ in a number of ways. His current research project deals with popular senses of time and space in England, c.1570-1770. This links to a number of the sub-themes including ‘Narrating Time;’ ‘Experiencing Time;’ ‘Reconstructing Time;’ ‘Time and the Present;’ and ‘Scaling Time.’ Critically, Wood will argue that senses of time need to be read in their spatial and social contexts. Professor Wood will spend some of his time working in the Diocesan archives held in the University’s Special Collections. The result of these archival searches will be a much fuller , richer and systematic study of changing senses of time in a region undergoing radical shifts in its religious culture, economic base and social structures.
Professor Alison Wylie, Washington University Trevelyan College
October – December 2012
Alison Wylie is a professor of Philosophy and Anthropology at the University of Washington (Seattle), whose research ranges widely across philosophical issues raised by archaeological practice. She has a longstanding interest in the challenges posed by inference from limited data: how do archaeologists establish credible knowledge claims about the social and cultural past, given their radically incomplete and enigmatic database? Her work on these issues is best represented by Thinking From Things: Essays in the Philosophy of Archaeology (2002) anda number of subsequent publications in which she has developed models of evidential reasoning in archaeology. The question of what constitutes archaeological best practice was the focus of a Leverhulme Visiting Professorship that Wylie held in 2010 at the University of Reading.
Since the mid-1990s Wylie has been centrally concerned with ethics issues in archaeology: what does a commitment to accountable, reciprocal, and collaborative research practice require of archaeologists? She addresses these issues in her 2008 Archaeology Division Distinguished Lecture (American Anthropological Association) on “Legacies of Collaboration,” and in several recent publications. W ylie has been a research team member of iPinCH since its inception (Intellectual Property Issues in Cultural Heritage), and is involved in developing an integrated research ethics curriculum for the non-medical sciences at the University of Washington. She is president of the American Philosophical Association, Pacific Division.
Visiting the IAS will afford Wylie the opportunity to interact with colleagues at Durham who have recently established a unique Centre for the Ethics of Cultural Heritage. Her goal is to complete a series of essays in which she articulates a normative account of how archaeological understanding of the past can be enhanced by engaging the diverse perspectives of non-archaeological stakeholders, especially those of Indigenous, Aboriginal, and First Nations descendant communities.
