French Language and Culture AHRC Doctoral AwardUniversity of Exeter - The Department of Modern Languages
The Department of Modern Languages is one of the UK's leading centres for teaching and research in French, German, Hispanic, Italian, Russian, Film and Sexuality and Gender Studies. Our research covers critical theory, culture, history, linguistics and literature, and we have cross-disciplinary strengths in a number of areas, including Linguistics, Film, the Study of Sexuality and Gender and Translation Studies. Many staff in Modern Languages currently hold awards from Research Councils and similar funding bodies on subjects ranging from immigrants' Italian, German and Austrian exhibitions since 1995 about the National Socialist past, Obscenity in Renaissance France, to costume-drama films of the 1950s.
We are offering one doctoral award in which the research topic must complement research within the department.
Application deadline: 4th July 2011
Value: Up to approx. £17,290 (including tuition fees)
