Fellowship focus: Applying the concept of ‘narrative non-fiction’ – a synthesis between the literary narrative and the rigorous pursuit of evidence-based knowledge to history and social sciences, focusing on work conducted in the School of Literature and Languages’ Mobilities Research Centre. 

 

Professor Jablonka has pioneered the concept of ‘creation in history and social sciences’, based on an innovative synthesis between the literary narrative and the rigorous pursuit of evidence-based knowledge – two domains often thought to be incompatible. During the Fellowship, he and Dr Bantman will apply this approach to work conducted in the School of Literature and Languages’ Mobilities Research Centre. The outcomes will include a jointly written article for a leading journal and two talks for specialist and non-academic audiences.
