Strandlines editors
THE TEAM
The Strandlines editors got to know each other either through working together on events for the first iteration of Strandines, or through related research interests.
The group includes expertise in medieval, digital and eighteenth-century matters; hair work and memorial culture; authors’ rights and churchyards; drones and undergrounds; soundscapes; and life writing. We share different forms of fascination with London, and can occasionally be found discovering more common interests in one of the Strand’s pubs.
