SGSAH AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Award 2024/25: Women, Gender, and Political Engagement at The Glasgow School of Art - St Andrews, United Kingdom - University of St Andrews
Description
The School of Art History, University of St Andrews and The Glasgow School of Art Archives and Collections are pleased to offer a Scottish Graduate School for the Arts and Humanities (SGSAH) Collaborative Doctoral Award to support a student undertaking research for the project: Women, Gender, and Political Engagement at The Glasgow School of Art.
This CDA offers an exciting opportunity to work closely with The Glasgow School of Art (GSA) Archives and Collections to uncover and communicate marginalised histories of gender and politics from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. GSA welcomed women as students and teachers as early as the mid-nineteenth century, developing a modernising curriculum that permitted them to instrumentalise their art in the campaign for suffrage. Yet GSA's Archives and Collections still contain unresearched material related to the political activities of women artists (including trans women, nonbinary and genderqueer practitioners), whose work speaks to the construction of women as political subjects, and to intersections of gender with class, race and sexuality.
The successful student will develop their own research project within the parameters of the award. Possible research questions might include:
The student will be supervised by Dr. Shona Kallestrup and Dr. Catherine Spencer at the University of St Andrews, and Michelle Kaye (Collections Lead) and Polly Christie (Archives & Collections Manager) at The Glasgow School of Art Archives and Collections.
For full details, see
Please address informal enquires to Dr Shona Kallestrup: -
Start date: 1 October 2024.
Duration and value
3.5 years full-time or 7 years part-time. The CDA offers an annual stipend of approx. £19,600 (full-time) plus fees at the Home (UK) rate. The University of St Andrews will cover the additional international student fees.
Applicants should:
