It’s been a full year since Professor Hilary Carey and Dr Sumita Mukherjee were awarded funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council for the ‘Mariners’ project. To celebrate this milestone, we’re very happy to have been featured on the excellent Arts Matter Blog with an article about our progress over the past year. We’ve become a team of five; commissioned a website to showcase our findings; been busy in the archives of the British Library and Hull History Centre; and are exploring venues and themes for our conference and exhibition in our second and third years.
The full post is available to read here, along with a plethora of fascinating articles by our colleagues at the university.
A huge thank you to George and the Arts Matter team for featuring us, we look forward to Year 2!
