We are seeking an enthusiastic and committed candidate for a doctoral

cultural memory in order to explore the use of history as a tool for 
debating contemporary social and cultural issues given clarity through 
their expression of an imagined collective past.

Examples might include monuments and memorials, education programmes, 
heritage institutions, and cultural artefacts across literature, visual 
culture, and beyond. Case studies will be encouraged from the 
established sector of galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAM), 
and also from film, television, gaming and the performing arts.
