The English Faculty is seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Associate to a one-year fixed-term research post which will support a new collaborative project titled, ‘Knotted Histories: Early Modern Global Carpets, Global Exchange and the Public Country House.’
Led by Prof. Nandini Das (Oxford), Dr Francesca Leoni (Ashmolean Museum), Dr Christo Kefalas & Emma Slocombe (National Trust), the project aims to illuminate the latent potential of global carpet collections for rethinking scholarship and heritage sector practice relating to wider histories of production and consumerism, sociability and embodiment, and global networks of exchange. This project will redefine carpet scholarship through a renewed focus on craft makers and manufacture and an examination of structures of cultural meaning across East and South Asia and Europe.
