[ecrea] Funded PhD Studentship on Bill Douglas and British Cinema

Mon Jun 12 19:44:33 GMT 2017



The College of Humanities at the University of Exeter and The Bill Douglas Cinema Museum are pleased to announce a funded PhD studentship to research Bill Douglas’ place in British cinema.

The studentship is entitled 'Creativity and Constraint in the British Film Industry in the 1970s and 1980s: A Case Study on Bill Douglas' and will analyse the problems and issues in the British film industry in this period and how the work of Bill Douglas, a singular film artist, fits within British cinema of the time.

The project will draw upon The Bill Douglas Working Papers. This collection comprises new archival material recently donated by Bill Douglas’s friend and collaborator Peter Jewell and others that worked with Douglas. The papers offer insights Douglas’ working methods across his career; there is particularly rich material relating to the production of his ‘poor man’s epic’ on the Tolpuddle Martyrs, ‘Comrades’ (1987).

You can find more details on the studentship, eligibility, and how to apply at http://www.exeter.ac.uk/studying/funding/award/?id=2645 and more details on the papers at .http://www.bdcmuseum.org.uk/about/the-bill-douglas-working-papers-by-arielle-woods/

This is a collaborative PhD studentship funded by the College of Humanities at the University of Exeter and The Bill Douglas and Peter Jewell Trust. The studentship will be for a period of up to 3 years of full-time study, dependent on satisfactory progress, and will cover full UK/EU tuition fees and a maintenance grant of £14,553 per year. Deadline for applications is 16 July.

This is an exciting opportunity for a new scholar to work with unique materials to produce original research.
