Lewis Twiby

Lewis specialises in the history of borders, human rights, and movements of marginalised communities. Their current project is looking at state-building and community identity in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua on the the US-Mexico border from 1920 to 1960. Their supervisors for this project are Dr Rosie Doyle and Professor Ben Smith. Their main avenue of research is the history of Mexico, the United States, and Latin America, although I have also looked at colonial and post-independence East Africa. They also write a blog twice a week where they can investigate topics they do not specialise in; this blog covers world history, mythologies and religion, and natural history.

Bethan Davies

Bethan is a Masters student at the University of Warwick, studying Environmental Humanities. Her interests include ecological literature and her dissertation, supervised by Dr Mike Niblett, focuses on the responses to climate change in contemporary fiction. It explores the discussion of climate-induced change in novels from the global core and compares this with fiction from the global peripheries, such as the Caribbean. She is also passionate about widening participation and inclusive representation, teaching ‘No Chairs Shakespeare’ in a local secondary school as a part of the English and Comparative Literary Studies Department’s ‘Performance and Pedagogy’ project.
