- Profile
IoA Involvement
Trinidad delivers lectures and feedback to MA students enrolled in ARCL0144 Heritage, Globalisation, and Development, with special attention to Islamic heritage and critical theories of risk and loss. She is currently working in collaboration Rachel King on developing a student handbook for qualitative research methods in heritage studies, which will be a definitive teaching aide on the subject at undergraduate and postgraduate level. A book proposal and sample chapters for this are in preparation, with plans to submit to UCL Press within the next six months. In addition, Corisande Fenwick and Trinidad are currently planning further collaborations on heritage in North Africa which will dovetail with Corisande Fenwick’s work in the region and her ERC and AHRC-funded projects.
