Each fortnight bulletin highlights and celebrates the latest prizes awarded to our fellow staff members. Congratulations to all involved.
Dr Cordelia Beattie, Senior Lecturer in History in the School of History, Classics & Archaeology, and Dr Suzanne Trill Senior Lecturer in English Literature in the School of Literatures, Languages & Cultures, have secured Art and Humanities Research Council funding to conduct a £1 million research project into the autobiographical writings of Alice Thornton (1626-1707) and create a digital edition, accessible to researchers and the public. The three-year research project will be carried out in partnership with Durham Cathedral.
