WGHBU9: Part Three - Spotlight on Samantha Carrie (University Histories Internships) We've Got History Between Us
-
- Society & Culture
Get to know intern and recent graduate Samantha Carrie! We chat about growing up in Fife; carving your own research path; the city of Berlin; Dissertation prep; the German architect Karl Friedrich Schenkel; discourse analysis; self education and complex narrative.
At the time of recording Samantha Carrie was a fourth year undergraduate student studying Architectural History and Heritage at the University of Edinburgh. Her interests include Georgian Architecture and visions of Empire in the built environment, specifically looking at how these regimes manifest themselves. Her dissertation research focused on the role of national memory and the Prussian architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel in the formation of contemporary Berlin. This coming academic year Samantha is seeking to fulfil her postgraduate offer from the University of Cambridge. Her research will explore how visions of empire informed architectural and urban developments in Edinburgh and Berlin between 1780 and 1840 and VOiCE wishes her all the best with her future studies.

Episode Nine is split into a variety of sections and topics. 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.
The internship was known as Project One – on account of two separate (but connected) projects running simultaneously. It's part of a larger University Histories plan and took on three interns including Samantha. 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. For this podcast episode, you’ll be hearing from two of the project interns, Ashlyn and Samantha and from their line manager, Lorraine McLoughlin.
