My Profile

Eleri Connick is a doctoral candidate at the University of Amsterdam’s School for Heritage, Memory and Material Culture. She was the PhD Fellow at Darat al Funun (Amman) February–July 2023 and a ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius Beyond Borders Start-up Scholar in 2022/2023.
Her doctoral project, "The Materiality of Exile in Jordan and Lebanon: The Palestinian House,” proposes a radical conceptualization of home and all that it can provoke. The project posits home as a place and employs spatial imaginary to understanding the experience of exile, an opening to the material objects of exile, and a portal to the scalar and temporal relations (and memories) that emerge.
