The project area is the Peninsula of Devon and Cornwall, two neighbouring counties in the South West of England with a combined population of 1,664,500, 1,135,000 in Devon and 529,500 in Cornwall. Both counties have a rural element, a strong maritime heritage, are tourist regions and important retirement locations. The Peninsula area embraces numerous heritage sites, national parks and some of the nation’s finest tourist sites, notably the internationally renowned Eden Project. Devon and Cornwall share significant common features and have similar challenges and ambitions. In terms of administration, Cornwall has a single unitary authority whilst Devon consists of a County Council with 8 local government districts and 2 separately administered Unitary Authorities. Both Devon and Cornwall are actively engaged with the South West Regional Development Authority (SWRDA) and the Government Office of the South West (GOSW). Whilst the area’s attractiveness as a rural location is a positive feature, its distance and remoteness from the rest of England creates logistical problems for businesses wishing

The research combines book-based strategies and performative encounters with people and places, to build a rich, chorographic survey described in images, sound files, objects and texts. A key research problem – how to express the forensic fingerprint of that which is invisible in the historic record – is described as a poetics of uncertainty, a speculative response to information that teeters on the brink of what can be reliably known. This poetics combines multi-modal writing to communicate events in the life of the research, auto-ethnographically, from the point of view of an artist working in the academy.

  • Taught Handbook 2017-2018
    University of Bristol Faculty of Biomedical Sciences SWBio DTP: Research Methods for Life Sciences Taught Handbook 2017-2018 Page 1 of 24 WELCOME Dear Students, Welcome to the SWBio DTP. I’m sure you are excited at the prospect of starting your postgraduate study. In this first year you will undertake a taught course, of which I am the Course Director. For the taught course you will undertake two rotation projects, as well as an integrated series of other units. Together, this provides you with many of the key skills you will need to allow you to succeed and make excellent progress in your following years of study. Please read this handbook thoroughly, which contains all the key information for your taught first year. Each of you are registered at your home institution, but this taught first year is based at the University of Bristol, in the Faculty of Biomedical Sciences. Importantly this means that University of Bristol regulations govern this first year. During this year you will all come together as a group for various aspects of this course, at each of the institutions that make-up the DTP– universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter and Rothamsted Research. If you have any questions or require any further information, please contact Ruth Batterham ([email protected]) or me ([email protected]). Finally, I’m sure you have already been in touch with Samantha Southern. You will get more emails from her during the year and I ask that you reply to Samantha swiftly, since this helps this programme run to the benefit of each and everyone of you.
