The Post-Theory Moment of Body: Re-materializing the Corporeal, Bridging Critical Idioms, Conceptualizing Art (THEORY/BODY/POST)

Start date: Jan 2, 2014, End date: Nov 15, 2017,

This project seeks to study the role, uses and transformations of the body within the contemporary reflection on post-Theory. It builds on contemporary work on post-Theory and on body-related issues in Anglo-American academic context, and it opens up to the French post-Theory movement, the German Kulturwissenschaft, philosophical life-narratives, body-oriented art discourses, and theoretical refle ...

Patterns of phenotypic variation and their effect on the extent of range overlap and magnitude of character displacement (CD AND CE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: May 5, 2016,

Much work on species distributions and phenotypic variation has focused on biogeographical and environmental explanations, but interactions between species may also play an important role. When related species come together in secondary contact they may diverge in traits that facilitates their coexistence, or they may competitively exclude each other from their ranges. I propose to examine pattern ...

Identifying genetic and microbial factors that promote intestinal inflammation and cancer using Drosophila (INFECTIONCANCER)

Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

My long term goal is to establish a network of bacterial factors and the host signalling pathways they modulate in wild type and mutated intestinal cells that predispose for inflammation and cancer. The work of my future team will ultimately lead to a deeper understanding of critical aspects of intestinal human disease, including inflammatory bowel disease and the intestinal tumor formation and me ...
