The British School at Rome (BSR), a prestigious multidisciplinary academy for research on Italy, has just become an official partner on the AHRC-funded Interdisciplinary Italy project, run by Dr Clodagh Brook.

The Interdisciplinary Italy project will work with the BSR to share interdisciplinary findings and methodologies, run workshops and attract joint postdoctoral researchers. For over 100 years world-class researchers of the art, history and culture of the Western Mediterranean and the best contemporary artists in the Commonwealth have been nurtured at the BSR (see, http://www.bsr.ac.uk). Potential postdoctoral researchers with a suitable interdisciplinary project and who would benefit from a period spent at the BSR should contact Dr Brook on c.j.brook.1@bham.ac.uk.
