The School of Art, Media and American Studies (AMA) at the University of East Anglia is inviting applications to our PhD programme. The School holds a wealth of expertise in Art History and World Art Studies; Film, Television, and Media; and American Studies. You may wish to consult our list of staff and their research interests for guidance on possible supervisory expertise: https://www.uea.ac.uk/ama There are a large number of funding opportunities available for AMA PhD applicants. The University of East Anglia is part of the AHRC consortium CHASE (Consortium for the Arts and Humanities in South East England) which offers around 75 fully funded (tuition and maintenance grant) studentships per year to PhD students across the consortium. Additionally, there are fully funded Scholarships (equivalent to AHRC rates for both tuition and maintenance) offered by the University, the Faculty and the School (for the school studentships, see below). With the exception of the School studentships funding is open to any area of research, although our particular strengths are in the following areas: Art History American Studies Film, Television and Media Art History Race, Gender, Sexuality, and Civil Liberties Feminist Media Studies World Art Environment, Space, and Place Media Consumption Critical Interpretation of Artistic Forms, Media, Material and Techniques Popular and Avant Garde Cultures British Film Museums, Exhibition and Heritage Transatlantic and Transpacific Studies Genre Studies It is important that prospective applicants contact the School as a matter of urgency to start the application process, preferably no later than the end of November to ensure that you work with potential supervisors on developing your proposal prior to application.
