In this edition’s ‘Meet the Researcher’ feature, we talk to PhD student Jeryn Woodward Mayer in the Department of English Language and Literature.
Jeryn discusses her research and its focus on the ‘Artistic impact that sectarian political murals in Belfast have on artists working today’. She evaluates the murals as examples of public art, rather than solely political propaganda, to determine their role in the visual culture of Belfast. Jeryn is a distance-based student, based in Texas.
