Photo-Therapy Day 2019, interdisciplinary meetings: History/Sociology

Ayres Marques Pinto meets Dr Simeon Koole

at the Department of  Liberal Arts and History

University of Bristol

Before joining Bristol as a Lecturer at the Department of Liberal Arts and History, Dr Simeon Koole previously held a fellowship at Princeton University (2013-14) and taught at the University of Oxford.
Simeon Koole research works at the intersection of the history of perception and global histories of exchange and territorialization. Focused especially on the cultural history of modern Britain, it draws on the history of science, urban, environmental, disability, and sensory history to explore how the sensory experience of the city shaped and was shaped by broader shifts in capital, labour, and imperial politics. I also have interests in photographic and critical theory.
