Fionagh Thomson
Senior Research Fellow (visual ethnographer), Durham University
I am a visual ethnographer, ecologist, human geographer and ethicist - based in the Centre for Extragalactic Astronomy (Durham Uni). I am interested in how knowledge and ideas are created within our everyday world – focusing on what we do rather than what we think we do. I work with video, camera, paper and conversation.
Current research interests: Responsible & Sustainable space science/satellite design (dark skies, dark matter, the darker side of satellites); viable over mythical sources of renewable energy; extension of human senses through technologies, and the mythical rise of robots/AI over humans.
I am a nomadic researcher travelling across disciplines. my current home is astrophysics and space science. My background includes: visual anthropology, human geography, environmental ethics (land rights) and educational philosophy. Fieldwork locations include the rainforests of Papua New Guinea, the islands of the Scottish Hebrides, the consulting spaces of NHS hospitals/patients' homes and mountaintop astronomical observatories in the Spanish Canary Islands.
Previous projects include the conflict between sufficiency and safety in blood manufacturing, the relationship between creative arts and wellbeing in later life, the role of IT within health professional-patient interactions during the consultation, and the social and ethical implications of a European Nanomedicine (lab-on-a-chip) project.

Lecturer in Literature and Migration, University of Bristol
My main research interests lie in colonial and postcolonial literatures and film, especially South Asian writing in English and the work of Salman Rushdie, British South Asian history, literature and film, Indian popular cinema and its representation in South Asian fiction. More broadly I am interested in twentieth-century and contemporary literatures and the development of the novel.
My monograph, Fiction, Film and Indian Popular Cinema: Salman Rushdie's novels and the Cinematic Imagination highlights the way in which Rushdie draws on the conventions, style and politics of Indian Popular Cinema in his exploration of the postcolonial subcontinent and the South Asian diaspora in fast-changing economic, social and global contexts.
I have also published extensively on South Asian British history, including the case of Udham Singh, Aubrey Menen, South Asian soldiers in the First and Second World Wars, and South Asian seafarers. I have edited special issues for Wasafiri: The Magazine of International Contemporary Writing - India in Britain: Cross-Cultural Encounters, which highlights the vibrant South Asian publishing culture of 1930s-40s Britain; and a special issue on Writing Hong Kong (co-edited with Jeffrey Mather).
