Our guest speaker at this meeting will be the author of the book "Growing Up Woodbrook", Dr. Dylan Kerrigan. At the same time in New York City, the Book will be launched, hosted by the Consulate General of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
Dr. Kerrigan is a Caribbeanist with a PhD in anthropology. Dylan was born in London to a Trini mother and a Scottish father. He has lived in Trinidad since 1999. His research on Woodbook began in 2005 as part of his PhD studies. Since then, he has published 4 books, and over 25 academic journal articles, wrote a weekly column in The Trinidad Guardian from 2012 to 2016, and was a feature writer for Caribbean Beat magazine from 1999 to 2005.
He was a lecturer in political sociology at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine from 2008 to 2019. From 2019 to 2022 he worked with a multi-disciplinary team researching the definition, extent, experience, and treatment of mental health, neurological, and substance-use disorders in Guyana’s jails: both among inmates and the people who work with them. Dylan is most interested in how cultural and economic processes extend and shift over long periods. His most recent book ‘Growing up Woodbrook - A Tapestry of Then and Now: An Amazing Square Mile in History’, was developed with the Woodbrook Residents Committee and published by the National Trust of Trinidad and Tobago in 2022.
