Research Team

Shared Island Stories is a team project coordinated by Professor Karen Brown of the School of Art History at the University of St Andrews. We have a core team of Research Fellows, PhD students, part time investigators, and a number organisations supporting the project located in Scotland and in the Caribbean, notably Harris Community Trust and Barbados Museum and Historical Society who are partners in our exciting Transatlantic Youth Exchange. The project also benefits from a strategic Advisory Board of experts from both regions.
