PhD studentship on ‘ethnic’ food and culinary culture
Applications are invited for a three-year PhD studentship under the
ESRC’s CASE award scheme, based on collaboration between Dr Robert
Perks (Director, National Life Story Collection based in the British
Library National Sound Archive) and Peter Jackson (Professor of Human
Geography, University of Sheffield). The proposed research will
investigate the cultural significance of ‘ethnic’ food by conducting
life-story interviews with a broad range of people working in
different parts of the food industry from a variety of ethnic backgrounds.
Applicants should have a good undergraduate degree in human geography,
social history or any cognate social science and/or previous
experience of oral history research. ESRC will pay the student’s
registration fees plus a basic maintenance grant (currently £6455 per
year). CASE awards also include an additional cash payment to the
student amounting, in this case, to £1500 per year. Applications
should be made on the standard University of Sheffield postgraduate
application form, available from the Postgraduate Secretary,
Department of Geography, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S10 2TN
(tel. 0114 222 7901). Copies of the form are also available at
http://www.shef.ac. uk/~gradsch/howtoapp.shtml. Further details can
be obtained from Peter Jackson (tel: 0114 222 7908, email:
[log in to unmask]). The deadline for applications is 31
March 1999.
Thanks,
Peter Jackson
