Karl Whitney- - - - I live in Dublin, Ireland and I work as a writer and researcher. I'm currently working on a non-fiction book about Dublin, for which I received a literature bursary from the Arts Council. I'm an Associate Member of the UCD Humanities Institute of Ireland. In 2010, I was awarded a PhD (thesis title: 'Everyday Life and Urban Space in Postwar France') from the School of History and Archives, University College Dublin. During the course of my PhD studies, I held a Postgraduate Scholarship from the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences, and a Doctoral Scholarship from the UCD Humanities Institute of Ireland. I hold a BA in History and English from UCD and an MA in Modernism from University of East Anglia. I'm also a fully qualified music manager. In 2011, while working as a Local History Researcher at South Dublin Libraries, I wrote a proposal for a series of historical posters along the Luas line to Saggart, which led to an exhibition along the line that August. (I wrote four of the six posters.) Like Flann O'Brien, I've worked for the Irish civil service. As a journalist, I've contributed to publications such as The Guardian, The Irish Times and The Belfast Telegraph. I once edited and wrote four issues of a fanzine called Misadventures in Lo-Fi. For a while I specialized in humorous essays, but now I rarely laugh. I'm an associate member of the London Institute of 'Pataphysics, a Co-Editor at 3:AM Magazine. I'm available for freelance writing, research and editing projects. You can contact me here.
