>
>Two fully-funded PhD studentships are available 
>as part of a major new AHRC project Spaces of 
>Television: production, site and style  a 
>collaboration between the universities of 
>Reading, Leicester and Glamorgan. The project 
>concerns television fiction produced in the UK 
>from 1955-94. It will analyse how the material 
>spaces of production (in TV studios and on 
>location) conditioned the aesthetic forms of 
>programmes, and how fictional spaces represented 
>on screen negotiated the opportunities and 
>constraints of studio and exterior space, film 
>and video technologies, and liveness and 
>recording. The PhD students will join a research 
>team comprising the directors of the project 
>(Professors Jonathan Bignell, James Chapman and 
>Stephen Lacey) and two Postdoctoral Research Assistants.
>The PhD studentships are available at the 
>University of Leicester and the University of 
>Glamorgan. They are to begin on 1 October 2010 
>and cover fees and bursary at the standard AHRC 
>rate for three years. Information about 
>eligibility for AHRC studentships can be found

>studies will be drawn from popular drama series
