We are delighted to invite applications for an Open University PhD Studentship in Gender and Otherness in the Humanities.
Applicants are invited to propose a research project which relates to any area of gender and/or otherness in the humanities, but preference will be given to those working on topics that can be supervised by a team from The Open University Research Centre for Gender and Otherness in the Humanities. You can find a summary of our research interests on the GOTH website.
Applications to the English Department, relating to Drama 1500-1800 are particularly encouraged. However, applications relating to any area of gender and/or otherness in the humanities, submitted to any Department of the School, will be considered.
The award covers all tuition fees and an enhanced maintenance of £20,000 p.a. for the full 3-year study period.
The Open University is internationally recognized for innovative research across the Arts and Humanities. In the 2014 Research Excellence Framework well over half of the School’s research was classified as ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, rising to more than three quarters in Art and Design, English, History and Music. We host a number of AHRC and ESRC funded research projects and have a strong commitment to public engagement both nationally and internationally.
