From: Dave Berry <d.g.be...@lboro.ac.uk> PLEASE CIRCULATE The Department of Politics, History & International Relations at Loughborough University (UK) invites applications for a fully-funded (UK or EU fee status) studentship to undertake doctoral research from December 1 2009 in any area related to the Department's research interests. Dr Dave Berry and Dr Ruth Kinna would like to hear from anyone interested in studying for a PhD in any area related to anarchist history, politics or theory. Dave Berry is a Senior Lecturer in Contemporary European History. He has published primarily on the French anarchist movement, the contemporary alternative left in France and on Daniel Guérin. He is the author of 'A History of the French Anarchist Movement, 1917-1945' (Greenwood Press, 2002); he is an associate editor and reviews editor of 'Anarchist Studies' and a founder member of the Anarchist Studies Network (Specialist Group for the Study of Anarchism within the Political Studies Association - http://www.sgsa.org.uk/HomePage). Ruth Kinna is a Senior Lecturer in Politics. She has published on William Morris and Peter Kropotkin, and is the author of 'Anarchism: A Beginner's Guide' (Oneworld, 2005) and co-editor, with Laurence Davis of 'Anarchism and Utopianism' (Manchester UP, 2009). She is the editor of the journal 'Anarchist Studies' and is also a founder member and co-convenor of the Anarchist Studies Network. There are currently five PhD students in the Department working on aspects of anarchism: Cris Illiopoulos, working on Nietzsche and anarchism; Saku Pinta, who is working on convergences and divergences between anarchism and Marxism; Sureyyya Turkeli working on the historiography of anarchism; Matt Wilson working on anarchist ethics; and Gwen Windpassinger, working on the queering of anarchism in Buenos Aires. Dr. Alex Prichard's research on the political thought of P-J Proudhon was also completed at the Department and his thesis successfully defended in 2008. If you would like to discuss a possible research project informally, please e-mail Ruth (r.e.ki...@lboro.ac.uk ) or Dave (d.g.be...@lboro.ac.uk ). Other information The Department is multidisciplinary and relatively small, with about 18 academic staff and 20-25 PhD students. We pride ourselves on the friendly, informal atmosphere in the department and on the facilities provided for postgraduates, all of whom currently have office space and a PC. Unfortunately, the studentships will only fund research for those with UK/EU fee status. Please note that the criteria for determining your fee status are not based simply on nationality, but also involve a residency requirement - for details please see: http://www.lboro.ac.uk/admin/ar/funding/international/status/index.htm For further information about the Department see: http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/eu/studying/research/index.html For more general information about postgraduate research at LU, how to apply, etc, see the Research Student Office web pages here: http://www.lboro.ac.uk/admin/ar/rso/index.htm Please note: the availability of this funding is strictly time limited and complete applications must be received by the end of the first week of November to meet the University start date of 1st December.
