[Commlist] Six fully funded PhD studentships (home students) at Department of English and Media, BCU

The Doctoral Landscape Awards is an AHRC-funded initiative hosted by 
*Birmingham City University 
<https://www.linkedin.com/company/birmingham-city-university/>* (BCU), 
supporting the development of a vibrant and inclusive doctoral research 
culture in the arts and humanities.

The scheme provides combined research expertise for the professional and 
personal development of the next generation of arts and humanities 
doctoral researchers. It delivers excellence in all aspects of research 
supervision and training. It provides access to a wide range of

university and a regional Hub comprising seven universities across the

home fee status candidate from a Global Majority background, continuing
