Staff Profile

Dr. Miriam Baldwin teaches and researches in Philosophy. She has a PhD in Philosophy from Warwick University on moral constancy and subjectivity with reference to temporal narrativity. ( Kant, Schiller, Nietzsche, Charles Taylor). She undertook Post-Doctoral research at Technical University, Berlin.

Her research interests lie in conceptualizing contemporary identity and the art of Iris Anne Berger (https://irisanneberger.co.uk/). Berger collaborated with Claudia Jones, 'Mother' of the Notting Hill Carnival' in late 1950's London during the period of the Notting Hill Riots. Berger was influenced by Jones' belief that art can heal communities.

Miriam is currently developing a theory of art that paradigmatically anchors and explains Berger's powerful images (in particular Berger's Refugees and Holocaust art).

Miriam Baldwin's article The Zoom-In Culture of Digitally Mediated Identity (2020) explores the ways in which new digital technologies have transformed practices of identity-creation and self-presentation in fluid times.
