PhD Studentships in Anarchist Studies, Loughborough, UKThe Department of Politics, International Relations & European Studies at
Loughborough University (GB) invites applications for a fully-funded
Faculty Studentship to undertake doctoral research from October 2008 in
any area related to the Department's research interests.
Dr Ruth Kinna and Dr Dave Berry would like to hear from anyone interested
in studying for a PhD in any area related to anarchist history, politics
or theory.
Ruth Kinna is a Senior Lecturer in Politics. She has published notably on
William Morris and Peter Kropotkin, and is the author of 'Anarchism: A
Beginner's Guide' (Oneworld, 2005); she is the editor of the journal
'Anarchist Studies' and is a founder member and convenor of the Anarchist
Studies Network (Specialist Group for the Study of Anarchism within the
Political Studies Association - http://www.sgsa.org.uk/HomePage).
Dave Berry is a Senior Lecturer in Contemporary European History. He has
published primarily on the French anarchist movement, the contemporary
alternative left in France and on Daniel Guérin. He is the author of 'A
History of the French Anarchist Movement, 1917-1945' (Greenwood Press,
2002); he is an associate editor and reviews editor of 'Anarchist Studies'
and is also a founder member of the Anarchist Studies Network.
There are currently four PhD students in the Dept. working on aspects of
anarchism: Alex Prichard (secretary of the ASN/SGSA) working on
'Pierre-Joseph Proudhon's International Politics'; Saku Pinta, who is
working on 'Convergences and Divergences between Anarchism and Marxism';
Sureyyya Turkeli (treasurer of the ASN/SGSA) working on histories of
anarchism and post anarchism; and Matt Wilson working on anarchist ethics.
If you would like to discuss a possible research project informally,
please e-mail Ruth (r.e.kinna@lboro.ac.uk) or Dave
(d.g.berry@lboro.ac.uk).
The Department is a multidisciplinary one, and relatively small, with
about 15 academic staff and 20-25 PhD students. We pride ourselves on the
friendly, informal atmosphere in the department and on the facilities
provided for postgrads, all of whom at present have office space and a PC.
The studentships include (i) a maintenance grant of approx. £10,500 per
annum for three years; and (ii) fees at the EU/UK rate for three years.
Unfortunately, the Faculty Studentship is only open to UK/EU citizens.
Please note that the criteria for determining your fee status are not
based simply on nationality, but also involve residency - for details
