[ecrea] Art, Media and American Studies at the University of East Anglia: PgR Studentships for October 2017

The School of Art, Media and American Studies (AMA) at the University of 
East Anglia is inviting applications to our PhD programme.

This year (entrance in Oct 2017) the School intends to offer two 
fully-funded PhD studentships (Home/EU rates) in the following area of 
research:

**

*American Visual Cultures*

We see this as a broad and inclusive intellectual area that stresses the 
cross-disciplinary strengths of the School. Projects here could include 
aspects of American media, studies in America and the Americas, or 
issues around the trans-Atlantic. However, these are just indicative 
examples, and we would urge applicants to define and develop their 
relationship to American Visual Cultures in their proposals.

The University of East Anglia is part of the AHRC consortium CHASE 
(Consortium for the Arts and Humanities in South East England) which 
offers around 75 fully funded (tuition and maintenance grant) 
studentships per year to Home/EU PhD students across the consortium.

Additionally, there are fully funded Scholarships (equivalent to AHRC 
rates for both tuition and maintenance) offered by the Faculty 
(including 2 international), as well as the two School studentships 
outlined above.

The School holds a wealth of expertise in Art History and World Art 
Studies; Film, Television, and Media; and American Studies. You may wish 
to consult our list of staff and their research interests for guidance 
on possible supervisory expertise: https://www.uea.ac.uk/ama
