Two New Colleagues on Wellcome Trust ‘Living with Feeling’ Collaborative Award

Welcome to our two new colleagues who will be working with us on our Wellcome Trust ‘Living With Feeling’ collaborative award.

Dr Helen Stark has worked in a range of academic, administrative, and engagement roles, including managing the AHRC-funded ‘Voices and Books, 1500-1800’ network. Her PhD in English Literature at Newcastle University was awarded in 2013 for a thesis entitled ‘Men of Feeling: Masculinities and National Identities, 1761-1817’. Helen will be working full-time from 1 January onwards, supporting us on all aspects of the project.

Dr Sarah Chaney is a historian of psychiatry with experience of engagement and museum work, including managing a Wellcome Trust People Award at Bethlem Museum of the Mind. Her PhD was entitled ‘Self-Mutilation and Psychiatry: Impulse, Identity and the Unconscious in British Explanations of Self-Inflicted Injury, c. 1864 – 1914’ – and was awarded by UCL in 2013. Sarah will work with us two days a week (alongside managing the exhibitions programme at the Royal College of Nursing), focussing especially on events and engagement.
