Rebecca Braun awarded an AHRC Early Career Fellowship

Date: 16 January 2013

Rebecca Braun has been awarded an AHRC Early Career Fellowship for over £170 000 for her major interdisciplinary project 'The Author and the World: New Interdisciplinary Approaches to Authorship' which is set to run from 2014-1016. The award will allow Rebecca to finish her monograph on German authors and the media (for more information, see DELC staff pages) and set up an interdisciplinary research hub on authorship that is to be located in the university's Centre for Transcultural Writing and Research. The hub will support the work of colleagues across the Faculty of Arts and Sciences with a programme of colloquia and postgraduate workshops running throughout 2014-15 on the topic of 'Authorship and Fame'. These will be led by major international researchers in collaboration with Lancaster colleagues in European Languages, English and Creative Writing, History, and Linguistics, and postgraduate bursaries are available to enable a wide range of early career scholars from across the UK and Europe to get involved. A dedicated website will also collate bibliographical resources and encourage global online interactive debate around the project's emerging research directions. The hub's activities will be relevant to both practising authors and academic researchers. Anyone who is interested in hearing more about the development of this initiative is warmly encouraged to contact Rebecca directly.
