- Society & Culture
Get to know intern and PHD candidate Ashlyn Cudney! We chat all things Scottish history; early modern Scotland; gender; nuanced language; archivist responsibility and the joys (or setbacks) of working from home.
Ashlyn Cudney is a doctoral candidate at the University of Edinburgh studying early modern history. Her research utilizes quantitative and qualitative analysis to examine the lived experience of social control in seventeenth-century Scottish communities. Ashlyn's research explores the colourful world of female nonconformity, control and disobedience through the lens of crime, discipline, and ecclesiastical and secular bias.

Episode Nine is split into a variety of parts, sections and topics. In it, VOiCE is letting you get to know more about a 5 month internship project that concluded at the Centre for Research Collections at the end of 2021. The undertaking looked at historical connections between Edinburgh City, and Edinburgh University, and transatlantic slavery.
This internship project was known as Project One – on account of two separate (but connected) projects running simultaneously. It's part of a larger University Histories plan. The long term aim is to understand what evidence, what narratives and perhaps even what gaps exist in the material that the CRC holds. With more of an understanding of the content and time dedicated to the sources, the more representation, diversity and detail can be provided. Not to mention, more access to relevant resources for research and conversation will become possible. You’ll be hearing from two of the project interns, Ashlyn and Samantha and from their line manager, Lorraine McLoughlin.
