- SH2303-RA Research Assistant is sought to contribute to the work of the recently funded ‘Haunting Issues: Children, Spectrality and Culture’ AHRC-funded research network. The primary objective of the network is to generate a nuanced critical understanding of the relationship between ghost and child across historical periods, geographical boundaries, and modes of cultural production. Through its interdisciplinary cultural analyses of the spectral child, the network aims to address what the factors which generate such precarious and spectral childhoods (war, illness, crime) mean to the children and families they effect, beyond the biomedical and sociolegal frames which conventionally define them. In turn, such cultural understandings secure an acknowledgement of how spectrality is a state in which multiple groups of children are forced to exist in a very real sense, at a historical moment when growing pressure from myriad health, climate, and social crises urgently demands new approaches to understanding how and why the status of the child comes to be precarious. By fostering links between professionals, including paediatric clinicians, legal practitioners working with refugee and asylum-seeking children, social care providers, and academic researchers, through its workshops and engagement events, the network aims to ensure that the new approaches and concepts generated to have the potential to inform policy and practice within those fields.

Key responsibilities will include liaison with the network membership regarding scheduled networking activities, the maintenance of the network’s online presence including social media accounts, providing logístical support for three workshops taking place across the UK. The role can predominantly be undertaken remotely, but some limited face to face working will be required during the workshops.
