About the Project

We invite proposals on any aspect of Holocaust memory and representation. Projects might include but are not confined too investigations of Holocaust representation in particular national contexts; comparative studies of the representation of the Holocaust and other atrocities; critical investigations of the transnationality of Holocaust memory. Interdisciplinary proposals are particularly welcome – for example projects that combine Fine Art practice and historical evaluation.

Eligibility and How to Apply

• Academic excellence of the proposed student i.e. 2:1 (or equivalent GPA from non-UK universities [preference for 1st class honours]); or a Masters (preference for Merit or above); or APEL evidence of substantial practitioner achievement.

Funding Notes

This project is being considered for funding in competition with other projects, through one of two types of funding packages available:
• Fully funded studentships include a full stipend, paid for three years at RCUK rates for 2017/18 (this is yet to be set, in 2016/17 this is £14,296 pa) and fees (Home/EU £4,350 / International £13,000 / International Lab-based £16,000), and are available to applicants worldwide.
• As Northumbria celebrates its 25th anniversary as a University and in line with our international outlook, some projects may also be offered to students from outside of the EU supported by a half-fee reduction.
