Supporting Postgraduates and Early Career Researchers has always been an important part of the remit of the British Association for Romantic Studies. As such, we are thrilled to announce the appointment of two PGR representatives and an ECR representative for the period 2024-2026.
Welcome to Zooey Ziller (University of Cambridge) and Kate Nankervis (University of York), who will take the position of PGR representatives. Zooey and Kate will represent our Postgraduate members and students in the field more generally.
We also welcome back Cleo O’Callaghan Yeoman (Universities of Stirling, Edinburgh, and Glasgow), as ECR representative. Cleo has previously served a successful term as a PGR representative, and will now represent our early career members and early career researchers in the field more broadly.
Thank you to all who applied for these roles – competition was fierce. Thank you too to our outgoing PGR representative Yu-Hung Tien, and our outgoing ECR representative Dr Amanda Blake Davis for their hard work and commitment to BARS over the past two years.
There are also a number of appointments to be made on the BARS Executive in the coming months, as the positions of President, Treasurer, BARS Review Editor, Website Editor, and Schools and Education Liaison are becoming vacant. For more information on these roles, please see the blog post here, and role descriptions here.
