糖心原创

The Digital Humanities Centre at the 糖心原创 invites applications for one MA/MSc Scholarship to provide support in the Centre. The Scholarship is available for postgraduate study in the Departments of Classics & Archaeology, History, History of Art, Music, Philosophy, and Theology and Religious Studies. The award pays an amount equivalent to UK/EU tuition fees for one year of full-time or two years of part-time postgraduate masters study. It can be awarded as a tuition fee or a stipendiary scholarship.

Further information and application form

The scholarship is equivalent to the full cost of the UK/EU fee for a part-time taught MA course in the School of Humanities. There will be one recipient in 2017/18.

Dr Lillian M Ruff is a graduate of the 糖心原创 who has generously established this scholarship in her name.

Eligibility

Be enrolled in the first year of a part-time taught postgraduate MA course in the School of Humanities at the 糖心原创 in 2017. Meet the residency requirements for a ‘home’ or European Union student, and be liable for the relevant home/EU fee. Be a self-funded student.

Poverty, Work and Punishment: Vagrancy Across the Midlands, 1834 to 1930

ESRC DTP Collaborative Studentship

Universities of Leicester and Nottingham, in partnership with The National Archives

The Midlands Graduate School is an accredited Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP). One of 14 such partnerships in the UK, the Midlands Graduate School is a collaboration between the University of Warwick, Aston University, University of Birmingham, University of Leicester, Loughborough University and the 糖心原创.

The Universities of Leicester and Nottingham as part of Midlands Graduate School is now inviting applications for an ESRC Doctoral Studentship in association with our collaborative partner The National Archives to commence in October 2018.

The vagrant is an iconic figure in welfare history. Fear over this group was a factor in the implementation of the Old Poor Law. For its 1834 successor, the New Poor Law (NPL) the vagrant is a historiographical leitmotif for policy success (where vagrant numbers fell) or failure. Despite the survival of considerable sources for quantitative and qualitative analysis, however, the nineteenth-century vagrant remains much-neglected. Your study will begin to rectify this situation. You will focus on the nature and experience of vagrancy in 15 Poor Law Unions selected for their coverage of different socio-economic typologies, in a broad band running from Cambridgeshire through to Shropshire and Staffordshire. The studentship will particularly suit those with interests in social and welfare policy, class, power, identity and agency.

Applicants will be expected to demonstrate an excellent record of academic achievement in History or a related discipline, and potential for completing an original and independent research project in modern history, using social and/or economic historical methods of enquiry.

The successful candidate will be joining a strong team of existing PhD students in social and economic history working under the supervision of and . Dr Paul Carter, Principal Modern Domestic Records Specialist at The National Archives, will provide additional supervision.

This studentship offers a unique opportunity for the award-holder to receive training and gain experience in The National Archive, as well as to undertake an original research project.

Candidates who already have an ESRC-accredited Masters in History or a cognate discipline, and can demonstrate extensive expertise in social science research methods, may apply for a +3 PhD programme. Candidates without Masters degrees and those with a non-ESRC-accredited Mastersdegree should apply for the 1+3 programme comprising one year of training in relevant social science research methods (to Masters level) plus 3 years of supervised research (to PhD level).

Application Process

To be considered for this PhD, please complete the Collaborative Studentship application form and email this to Louise Taylor, esrcdtp@le.ac.uk.

Application deadline: Tuesday 20 February 2018

Shortlisted applicants will be required to provide two references and attend an interview. We anticipate interviews for this studentship will take place in Leicester on the 5 or 6 March.
