Roger Bromley appointed as Visiting Professor at Lancaster University

Roger Bromley, Emeritus Professor of Cultural Studies and Honorary Professor of Sociology at the University of Nottingham, has been appointed Visiting Professor with the Department of English & Creative Writing at Lancaster, where he will work closely with the Centre for Transcultural Writing and Research. Author of the seminal work, Narratives for a New Belonging, Roger is currently working on a new book, Narratives of Hope? Conflict, Reconciliation and Cultural Forms (with reference to Bosnia, Rwanda and South Africa). He is also involved with a project on the representation of migration and displacement in cinematic forms, provisionally entitled People on the Move: Narratives of Displacement and Belonging. Professor Bromley says: ‘Having had a small part in the Moving Manchester project and some of the Glocal Imaginaries conference and of its outcomes, I am genuinely delighted and honored by this appointment, which will provide the opportunity to work more closely with the Department and the Centre. I look forward very much to the intellectual stimulus and fresh challenges offered by meeting with colleagues and students, planning new projects and sharing in research initiatives.’
