Dr Eavan O’Dochartaigh is an SFI-IRC Pathway Programme Awardee at University of Galway (2022-2026) and a former Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellow at Umeå University, Sweden (2019-2021). Her book Visual Culture and Arctic Voyages was published by Cambridge University Press (2022). It investigates the nature of the on-board visual culture of the nineteenth-century Arctic, presenting a compelling challenge to the ‘man-versus-nature’ trope that still reverberates in polar imaginaries today. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
