Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
The Schools of Humanities and the School of Art and Design at the University of Gloucestershire, in Cheltenham, have begun a new initiative aimed at integrating biblical interpretation and new artistic representations of scenes and narratives from the Bible, and other expressions of religious belief, in paintings, sculpture and other media.
The particular aim of the initiative is the production of new artistic works focused on biblical material and other expressions of religious belief in a self-reflexive and research-focused way.
To this end, the University of Gloucestershire is now offering a scholarship in this area to be jointly supervised by Philip Esler (biblical critic) and Angus Pryor (artist) with the output to consist of discursive textual material and an artistic work or works focused on biblical material or some other expression of religious belief.
The successful candidate will have undertaken undergraduate work in both the biblical/religious studies area and in fine art for three years and will have a Masters degree in at least one of these areas. It is expected that the successful applicant will begin the degree in the period September 2015-January 2016.
