AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Award: Rupununi re-collections: historical photographs, Indigenous knowledge and heritage in Guyana
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship
on historical photographs, Indigenous knowledge and heritage in Guyana
at Royal Holloway University of London, in partnership with the Royal
Geographical Society (with IBG) and Kew Gardens.
This award is made by the Science Museums & Archives Consortium
under the AHRC’s Collaborative Doctoral Partnership scheme. The project,
due to begin in September 2020, will be supervised by Prof Jay Mistry
and Prof Felix Driver at Royal Holloway and Dr Catherine
Souch at the RGS-IBG, with further support from the Royal Botanic
Gardens, Kew.
This project aims to reconnect historical photographs documenting
Indigenous peoples and practices to contemporary initiatives concerning
Indigenous knowledge and heritage development. Working in the Rupununi
region of Guyana, the project will explore the use
of significant photographic archives as a resource to enrich the
understanding of Indigenous knowledge and practices, Indigenous
heritage, identity and rights in contemporary Guyana. It will link work
on Indigenous knowledge and memory with collections-based
research, using methods of visual elicitation and digital repatriation
in collaboration with the relevant Indigenous communities. The project
combines (a) archival research in UK collections with (b) field-based
photo-elicitation in the Rupununi. A participatory
action research framework will allow research questions to be refined
and addressed with participants in an iterative way to produce tangible
benefits. The student will be encouraged to use participatory video as a
way of creating new interpretative narratives.
The possibility of a small-scale exhibition will also be considered in
order to engage with wider audiences in Guyana.
