  Exploring Palestinian self-representation in association with the 
Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funded research project 
Creative Interruptions: grassroots creativity, state structures and 
disconnection as a space for 'radical openness'. Project Lead: Anandi 
Ramamurthy ((a.ramamurthy /at/ shu.ac.uk)) This PhD could investigate any 
aspect of Palestinian self-representation in the arts and/or visual 
media. The studentship will run alongside an AHRC funded research 
project called Creative Interruptions: grassroots creativity, state 
structures and disconnection as a space for 'radical openness' in which 
the strand headed by Sheffield Hallam University (SHU) will investigate 
the ways in which Palestinian cinema has attempted to challenge 
hegemonic histories and discourses of the Israel/Palestine conflict. 
While this PhD would be funded by SHU and sits outside of the framework 
of the AHRC project, it is anticipated that you will be able to benefit 
from the context of the wider research and from events such as film 
screenings and workshops which will be taking place as part of the 
Creative Interruptions research project. Your PhD will also benefit from 
collaboration with Sheffield Palestine Cultural Exchange, established 
for the purposes of the Creative Interruptions project. Their community 
co-investigator will be able to offer mentoring and input to you on 
Palestinian politics in the UK. Proposals are invited from 
media/film/cultural studies students or a film/video/photography 
practitioner with a critical interest in post-colonial representations. 
The student should be able to speak Arabic
