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
