Taking on this new role at the Global Cultures Institute has been fantastically energizing. It’s already given me the chance to meet a range of talented colleagues from across King’s, and to discover more about the creative, thoughtful and ambitious projects of research through which they’re confronting questions vital to the ways in which we understand ourselves and our world. Within the institute, we have a wonderful opportunity to foster these projects and others like them, and to create a space in which we’re able to speak with, listen to and learn from one another.

The Global Cultures Institute is delighted to name Dr Jarad Zimbler as its new Director of Research.
Dr Zimbler, Reader in English and Global Cultures in the Department of English and the Department of Interdisciplinary Humanities, is interested in how literary cultures come into being and interact, and how they shape authorships and writing practices.
His new project Decolonization, Appropriation and the Materials of Literature in Africa and its Diaspora (LITAID) focuses on the transnational dimensions of literary decolonization in Ghana during the 1950s and 1960s.
