Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
The PhD researcher will recover and evaluate women’s contributions to the International Relations discipline in the United States, from the end of World War I until 1979. Although disciplinary history is a growing field there are currently no histories of women in the IR discipline. Hence, the PhD will address a significant gap by covering IR’s most influential location. The PhD researcher will undertake nine months of research training and gaining knowledge of American IR history and theory and women’s intellectual history and undertake six months research in the United States examining US-based university archives and personal papers, and conducting interviews.
Co-supervised by Professor Patricia Owens (International Relations) and Dr. Katharina Rietzler (History), the PhD researcher will undertake training in both fields, participate in the activities of the Sussex Centre for Intellectual History and the Sussex Centre for Advanced International Theory.
In the first instance, please apply for International Relations in the School of Global Studies as the PhD degree. This will be revised at a later date if you wish to pursue a History PhD.
