Deeply honoured to say that I am one of the recipients of an Early Career Fellowship! From May 2026, I’ll be spending 3 years at Edinburgh’s Art History department (@edincollegeofart.bsky.social) to research Whiteness and Greco-Roman antiquity in eighteenth-century British history paintings

From untangling the evolutionary roots of plant variation to how medieval nuns mastered the art of credit, we’ve had some fascinating applications for this year’s Early Career Fellowship scheme. The Trust is pleased to announce 152 Fellowships in this round. Congratulations to the 2025 cohort!
