[ecrea] Centre for Cultural Policy Studies, Doctoral Scholarship, University of Warwick, 2014

CCPS Doctoral Scholarship



General Information

The Centre welcomes applications for all areas of PhD research. However, 
for the period 2014-17 we are particularly interested in projects in the 
area of culture and development – the arts, creative industries and 
heritage in either international development, or other forms of 
development. The Centre is launching a new MA programme in Arts, 
Enterprise and Development in October 2014. If your application is 
successful and your research field is relevant to this MA programme, 
there are opportunities for you to develop your teaching and 
administrative skills in this area.



Our approach to ‘culture and development’ focuses on the stimulation of 
indigenous cultural production as well as the arts and new creative 
enterprises (design, media, communications, fashion, music, etc.), as 
part of sustainable economic and social development. This reflects 
recent policy developments by UNCTAD, UNESCO and the EU and can 
encompass the following topics:



* The role of culture in international development policy, strategy and 
internationally funded projects.
* The arts, cultural enterprises and organisations, and their role in 
development (human, social, urban and economic).
* The cultural politics of globalization and their impact on 
international development.
* Sustainable culture, community and local economy.
* The creation, management and organisation of the arts, cultural 
enterprises or creative industries in development contexts.
* Cultural policy (rural, regional or urban) in international development.
* The role of artists, cultural leaders and entrepreneurs in cultural 
development.
* Community arts, participation and citizenship.
* Heritage and identity.



These areas are not exhaustive of this broad field. Moreover, our 
interest in this area should not deter an application from any other 
field of research. Our aim is to attract excellent PhD students to the 
Centre, and every application will be afforded equal consideration.
