[Histling-l] PhD studentships in linguistics at the University of Westminster

[Petros Karatsareas]

Dear all,

The University of Westminster is now part of the Technē AHRC Doctoral Training Partnership. The DTP has 57 full PhD studentships to give out each year over the next three years (beginning in Sept 2019) in the areas of the arts and humanities (see http://www.techne.ac.uk/). Here is how the Technē DTP describes its remit in terms of subject coverage:

“The technē Doctoral Training Partnership provides support across the full range of arts and humanities disciplines, including practice and performance-led research study, in, for example, dance, design, photography and art, also museum studies and conservation, as well as the highest levels of practice in analysis, critical thinking, theory and writing, from archaeology and cultural geography to literature, linguistics, classics and theology. Our member universities share a commitment to excellence in specialist areas key to the future of creative economies: design; performance; digital futures; heritage within and beyond the humanities; critical thinking and analytic skills.”

The Westminster Forum for Languages and Linguistics would particularly welcome applications from prospective PhD candidates in our specialist areas in sociolinguistics and historical linguistics:


  *   Historical study of the English Language

  *   Language and gender
  *   Language contact including creole languages
  *   Migration, exile, language and spaces
  *   Multilingualism including community/heritage languages

There is an open evening for interested students at the University of Westminster on 1 November, from 17:30 to 20:00. Please see the details in the attachment.

With best wishes,
Petros
