[Commlist] PhD Studentship in Photography

Please circulate details of the following PhD studentship as appropriate.

*Other lives of the image: examining the meanings of an apartheid-era 
collection of photographs in South Africa today*

**

Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD jointly hosted by the 
Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford and University of Brighton. The project will 
examine the ways in which a collection of apartheid-era photographs from 
South Africa held at the Pitt Rivers Museum, can be of value to South 
African and British audiences today. The photographs, taken by Bryan 
Heseltine and his aunt Irene Heseltine in the 1940s and early 1950s, are 
of particular importance to the visual history of South Africa. The 
research will establish a comprehensive digital research catalogue for 
the collections and use this as the basis for fieldwork in South Africa. 
Fieldwork will consist of local exhibitions, reception analysis, 
interviews, and historical research, to critically examine the range of 
meanings and uses for such historical imagery in the region.

The studentship start date is 1 October 2021.
