Applications are
invited for an AHRC CDA studentship commencing autumn 2013
on The Legacies
of the Repatriation of Human Remains
Supervised by Dr
Samuel Alberti, Director of Museums and Archives at the Royal College of
Surgeons, Dr Beth Greenhough, Geography, Queen Mary, University of
London, and Professor Catherine Nash, Geography, Queen Mary, University of
London.
This three-year
doctoral studentship aims to understand the processes and legacies of the
repatriation of human remains for museums and claimant
communities. Working closely with the Hunterian Museum and combining archival
work, ethnographic observation and in-depth interviews, the
project will contribute to museum policy, public debate and academic
scholarship concerned with the extraction, use, meaning and global circulation
of human remains.
The award pays fees
and an annual maintenance grant (currently £15,726 per year), with the
Royal College of Surgeons contributing £1000 to the student’s research
expenses. The usual AHRC eligibility rules apply to these studentships, including having an appropriate masters degree by October
2013 and AHRC’s residential requirements.
The closing date is 28th June 2013. Interviews
will be held on Tuesday 16th July 2013. See here for further details and how to apply. Informal inquiries should be made to Dr Samuel Alberti or to Prof. Catherine Nash
