training, additional funding, and networking.

Our aim is to work with a small number of applicants to help them

PhD study in September 2025.

    Research within the cultural memory strand is concerned with the

    objects, images and texts in shaping histories and identities of
    memory and belonging across cultures, with a core focus on
    transnational memory contexts.
