We received a number of very high quality applications for the BARS Digital Events Officer position for the next election cycle. The Executive Committee are delighted to announce that the incoming Digital Events Officer is:
Dr Roslyn Joy Irving
Roslyn Joy Irving completed her PhD at the University of Liverpool and Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University. Her research explored method and literary historiography through Ann Radcliffe’s The Romance of the Forest (1791). Roslyn's postdoctoral project focuses on topographical poetics from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. She is currently based at Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz.
The BARS Digital Events Officer will take the lead in co-ordinating our ongoing series of digital panels and roundtables and to contribute to the Exec’s future planning around digital engagement. The Digital Events Officer’s primary responsibility is to be the lead organiser for a regular series of digital events, which can include panels and roundtables solicited via calls issued to the BARS membership as well as collaborations with partners and directly programmed events. BARS Digital Events seek to include a diverse range of voices; all line-ups must feature at least one postgraduate or early career scholar.
