The Platform welcomes Nicholas Duddy, who will be spending two months with us as a Visiting Scholar.
Nicholas is a Forrest Postdoctoral Fellow in English and Literary Studies at the University of Western Australia. His research interests include modern and contemporary literature (especially Anglophone theatre), Australian literature, Dramaturgy and creative writing, and medical and environmental humanities.
During his visit, Nicholas will be connecting and collaborating with researchers across the Platform, the Institute for Advanced Studies and the Department of English Studies on narrative approaches to mental health. He will be presenting his research and exploring ideas for future collaborations on interdisciplinary projects related to art, suicide, and mental health. He will also be revising his proposal and manuscript for Suicide and the Modern Stage, which explores depictions of suicide and suicidality on plays after the Second World War.
Welcome, Nicholas – we’re thrilled to have you with us!
