It was a huge pleasure to be an external faculty scholar affiliated to the Photographic History Research Centre at De Montfort University in Leicester, UK for 3 years, 2014-17. The Centre, whose inaugural director was Prof. Elizabeth Edwards, has grown into a dynamic graduate program led by scholars Kelley Wilder, Gil Pasternak, and Beatriz Pichel. Annually, the Centre holds a conference that brings together researchers across a diverse range of topics. I enjoyed being part of this program and getting to know and talk with many graduate students. I really enjoyed my time in the city of Leicester and post-workshop meals at some of Leicester’s legendary Indian curry restaurants.
