Applications are invited for a three-year PhD studentship.
Project Description
In partnership with the National Marine Park, this Collaborative Doctoral Award crosses Heritage, Architecture and Cultural Geography to explore the value of place in a port city. Understanding Plymouth Sound in terms of human interactions with the marine environment, the CDA will draw on place attachment theory, to examine the ‘heritage value’ of the sea to the people of Plymouth. Embedded with the NMP, the CDA will take a place-based research methodology to work with community groups across the city including older adults, younger adults, intergenerational families and new arrivals, gathering the memories, stories and meanings people attach to the city and the sea. The CDA will include a CPD project working with the NMP to develop its interpretation strategy based on community voices.
You are required to have a good honours degree (1st Class or an Upper 2:1) and likely a Masters degree in a relevant subject (completed with Distinction or a High Merit), and a strong wish to pursue a PhD with an original research project.
If your first language is not English, you will need to meet the minimum English requirements for the programme, IELTS Academic score of 6.The fourth year is a self-funded ‘writing-up’ year.
If you wish to discuss this project further informally, please contact Professor Daniel Maudlin, daniel.
