The Centre for Research in Memory, Narrative and Histories at the University of Brighton invites applications for fully-funded doctoral studentships commencing October 2017 on topics that engage with any of our principal areas of transdisciplinary research interest:
History and Cultural Memory of Twentieth-Century World Wars;
The Northern Ireland Troubles and Peace Process: Legacies, Silences and Memories in Conflict Transformation;
Negotiating ‘the Past’ in Post–conflict Spaces: History, Memory and Cultural Geography After War and Conflict;
Heritage in the Twenty-First Century;
Reparative Histories: Radical Narratives of ‘Race’ and Resistance
In addition Annebella Pollen, a member of the Research Centre, is recruiting a research student to work on the history of the Woodcraft Folk:
Expressions of interest to work on topics related to the history of the Woodcraft Folk, building on the development of its 90th anniversary oral history archive, are particularly welcomed. For an informal discussion on developing an application on this theme, please contact Dr Annebella Pollen a.pollen@brighton.ac.uk at the earliest opportunity.
For details of our recent and current research activities in these and related areas, see http://arts.brighton.ac.uk/research/centre-for-research-in-memory-narrative-and-histories/projects. Applications are also welcome on other topics that relate to the supervisory expertise of CRMNH’s director, steering group and staff membership (see http://arts.brighton.ac.uk/research/centre-for-research-in-memory-narrative-and-histories/who-we-are).
To express interest and discuss an application contact Dr Lucy Noakes L.Noakes@brighton.ac.uk
The studentships are offered by the College of Arts and Humanities via two funding routes. The TECHNE Doctoral Training Partnership makes up to fifty AHRC-funded awards across the full range of arts and humanities disciplines, shared between seven HE institutions in London and the South-east. A number of University of Brighton studentships are also available. Students who apply for a TECHNE award will be considered automatically for a University award and we will guarantee funding to our best applicants. University awards are also open to international students.
