Routledge/Round Table Commonwealth PhD Studentships (31 July)
The Routledge/Round Table Commonwealth PhD Studentships provide support for research projects on Commonwealth-related themes in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Two scholarships of up to £5,500 are available, and one is for PhD students registered at UK universities.
Applications are welcomed from a broad range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. Preference may be given to disciplines usually covered by The Round Table journal, including (but not exclusively) politics, international relations, economics, international history, geography, law, development studies, and area studies.
Proposed research must meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Relate to the Commonwealth as a whole or to any Commonwealth-wide institution or organisation.
- Have a Commonwealth comparative aspect.
- Be of relevance to more than one Commonwealth country.
Studentship holders will write a 4,000-6,000 word journal article in The Round Table and produce a podcast. They will also work with a mentor academic from a Commonwealth country.
Applications are due by 31 July.
