\n Congratulations to Jane Freeland, awarded a Newton International Fellowship\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

The Fellowship was awarded for her post doctoral project, <\/span> Everyday Violence and Citizenship in Divided Germany, 1970-1990, <\/i> hosted at the University of Bristol. <\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the British Academy notes, “The Fellowships provide an opportunity for some of the most talented post-doctoral researchers working overseas to carry out world class research in UK institutions across all disciplines of humanit<\/span>ies, engineering, and natural and social sciences. Fellows will receive support in the region of \u00a3100,000 each for a two year placement in the UK.”<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The latest group of successful applicants will be investigating topics ranging from the preservation of soft tissue in amber to violence and citizenship in divided Germany. They come from research institutes in around 20 different countries including India, Romania, Nigeria and the USA.”<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freeland is writing her doctoral thesis under the supervision of Professor Jennifer Evans<\/a> and will defend in January. She describes that project as follows: “<\/span>My doctoral research investigates the approaches taken to address domestic violence in East and West Berlin between 1969 and 1990. I am particularly interested in the contested interactions between the state and the women\u2019s movement in responding to gender violence and the way both Germanys created a language to define domestic violence, which not only reflected and reinforced their self-definition as liberal or socialist states, but did so in a way that had important consequences for women and marginalized communities. Through an analysis of official state and grassroots responses to domestic violence, I also aim to determine how feminist ideas traversed the East-West border as a way of understanding how the two states were entangled. This both provides a lens into the daily life of the German Democratic Republic, and builds on the literature examining the processes whereby West Germans \u2018learned\u2019 liberalism after 1945.”<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
