Candidate statement
Vincent Trott, Lecturer in History, The Open University (UK).
I have worked for SHARP since October 2015, when I was employed as the organisation’s first Executive Assistant. Since then, I have performed a wide range of administrative tasks for the Executive Council, working with many of SHARP’s officers. Among others, my duties have included updating SHARP’s website, handling the administration of the DeLong prize, and helping to moderate SHARP-L. I have also worked closely with SHARP’s current Recording Secretary, Corinna Norrick-Rühl, by taking minutes at meetings in her absence and helping to compile the organisation’s policy manual. I hope to build on the excellent work that Corinna has done in this position, ensuring that SHARP’s activities continue to be documented and archived effectively. I also hope to work closely with the Director of Electronic Resources to ensure that SHARP’s website continues to provide an up-to-date and accurate record of the society’s history.
As a researcher, much of my work to date has focused on the history of publishing, reading and print culture within the context of the First World War. My first monograph, Publishers, Readers and the Great War: Literature and Memory Since 1918, was published by Bloomsbury in 2017.
