Published on: The significance of home in the Covid-19 crisis has been far-reaching and profound.
The project, ‘Stay Home’: Rethinking the Domestic during the Covid-19 Pandemic, led by Professor Blunt from Queen Mary, is a collaboration between Dr Kathy Burrell and Professor Georgina Endfield (University of Liverpool) and Dr Olivia Sheringham (Birkbeck University of London). Based at the Centre for Studies of Home, the project partners are the Museum of the Home, National Museums Liverpool and the Royal Geographical Society with Institute of British Geographers (IBG).
The four postdoctoral researchers on the project all completed PhDs funded by AHRC, including three at Queen Mary on Collaborative Doctoral Awards (Miri Lawrence and Annabelle Wilkins with the Museum of the Home and Eithne Nightingale with the V&A Museum of Childhood).
