The Faculty of Arts at the University of Adelaide welcomes applications for a higher degree (PhD) scholarships in conjunction with several research projects as follows:
(1) History of colonial violence in the 19th century Anglo Pacific Rim: This PhD project will focus broadly on the history of colonial violence in the nineteenth century Anglo Pacific Rim (including Australia) and its afterlife historical memory, but a more specific topic can be negotiated in conjunction with an ongoing ARC Discovery Project. For more information on this project, please contact Professor Amanda Nettelbeck, email: amanda.nettelbeck@adelaide.edu.au
(2) History of SA Performing Arts during World War I: This project brings together key South Australian performing arts institutions in order to research South Australian performing arts during the First World War as part of an ARC Linkage Project. Outputs will range from traditional, text-based offerings to performances by partner institutions. The PhD project will be broadly historical in nature, but a more specific topic can be negotiated. For more information on this project, please contact Professor Mark Carroll, email: mark.carroll@adelaide.edu.au
(3) Organisms and Us: This project explores the changing roles and understandings of non-human organisms in 20th and early 21st century science using both historical and philosophical perspectives. The PhD project will involve integrated history and philosophy of biology, with the specific topic to be negotiated. Applicants should note that the awarding of a higher degree scholarship is dependent on external funding of this project, which at the date of this announcement is yet to be confirmed. For more information on this project, please contact Professor Rachel A. Ankeny, email: rachel.ankeny@adelaide.edu.au
