Dr. Lambert, previously Reader in Historical Geography at Royal Holloway (University of London), has just taken up the post of Reader of Caribbean History in the Department of History, University of Warwick. He is an outstanding scholar whose research in the area of ‘postcolonial geography’ encompasses the study of Britain and empire. He co-edited the volume Colonial Lives across the British Empire: Imperial Careering in the Long Nineteenth Century (Cambridge University Press, 2006) and is currently working on, The Armchair Explorer: Slavery, Map-making and the Origins of the British Empire in Africa. In addition to his enviable list of publications, Dr. Lambert was awarded the prestigious Philip Leverhulme Prize (Leverhulme Trust). Dr. Lambert will be on campus from 29 October to 12 November 2011 and will contribute to a broad range of interdisciplinary teaching and research activities at Queen’s.
