3 PhD Studentships with Chatsworth & Sheffield University
From Servants to Staff: the Whole Community in the Chatsworth Household 1700-2000
Applications are invited for three Collaborative Doctoral Awards commencing on 1 October 2015, funded by the ARHC. The three year award covers fees and an annual maintenance grant.
The aim of this project is to use the extensive archival materials in the Devonshire Collection in order to gain an understanding of the wider community who have lived and worked at Chatsworth over the past three centuries, brought together by relationships of work and service. It will employ an interdisciplinary linguistic-historical approach to explore the changing relationship between masters and servants between 1700 and 2000.
The project comprises three interconnected PhD projects, each focusing on a different century:
• “Community, Conflict and Change at Chatsworth, 1700-1820”
• “A Community of Masters and Servants? Chatsworth, 1811-1914”
• “The making of a modern estate: employment & service at Chatsworth in the 20th century”
The project will be interdisciplinary and applicants from a range of backgrounds (English, History, Social Sciences, etc.) are encouraged to apply.
Deadline for applications: 12 noon Thursday 23rd April 2015.
