More Postdoctoral Success!

Recent PhD graduate and a winner of the prestigious Banting Fellowship, Rachel Webb Jekanowski has secured another Postdoctoral appointment. After she completes her 2-year appointment at Memorial University in 2021, she will take up the Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship, a 2-Year Post Doctoral position at Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany. Funded by the German Research Foundation, the project she will be working on is entitled “Configurations of Film,” and is dedicated to new research paradigms that address the question of what comes after the ‘post-cinematic condition.’ Her own research will investigate film practices as they interfaced with global trade routes, focusing on environmental, cultural, and colonial legacies.
