[Bio c. 2012]

Andrew Irving is based in the Department of Anthropology and Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology at the University of Manchester. His primary research area explores how the world appears to people close to death, particularly in relation to transformations in perception in terms of time, existence, religion, otherness and imagination, and uses collaborative and mixed media approaches to understand how culture, religion and gender mediate people’s experiences of illness, death and dying. Recent articles include ‘Strange Distance: Towards an Anthropology of Interior Dialogue’ (Medical Anthropology Quarterly 2011); ‘The Color of Pain’ (Public Culture 2009); and ‘Ethnography, Art and Death’ (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute 2007) which was awarded the American Anthropological Association’s AIDS Research Group’s ‘Clark Taylor Professional Prize’.
