Dear all,
Could we ask you to draw this opportunity to the
attention of your students?
Many thanks,
Simon Ward and Janet Stewart
Phd Project
Regeneration and Resistance: The Sociology of Art and
Literature in Post-Unification Berlin
Within the framework of the burgeoning Visual Culture
(http://www.abdn.ac.uk/visualculture) and Modern
Thought (http://www.abdn.ac.uk/modernthought)
programmes at the University of Aberdeen, we would
like to make potential candidates aware of the above
PhD project.
Taking an explicitly interdisciplinary approach, this
PhD will investigate the relationship between artistic
production and processes of urban regeneration and
gentrification in post-unification Berlin. It is
anticipated that, after an initial period of
preparation in Aberdeen, the student would conduct
research in Berlin into the city's cultural
institutions as well as building on the contacts with
artists and writers that the supervisors already
possess.
Prospective candidates should have a relevant
undergraduate degree in German, Sociology, Art
History, Film Studies or a related subject, and have
sufficient command of German to engage in the research
in Berlin.
Funding is available from the College of Arts and
Social Sciences' Graduate School
(http://www.abdn.ac.uk/cass/funding.shtml), which
provides Studentships/Scholarships and Research
Bursaries on a competitive basis for the support of
full-time postgraduate programmes as part of a 1+3
programme (Master's qualification followed by research
leading to a PhD*) or a +3 programme (PhD). Please
note that the closing date for funding applications is
31 May 2006.
*Prospective candidates who have not yet completed a
master's qualification will be encouraged to complete
the MLitt in Visual Culture.
For further information, contact Dr Janet Stewart
([log in to unmask]) or Dr Simon Ward
