AHRC Doctoral Studentship (PhD) Iberian and Latin American Language and Culture |2021-2022 Scholarships Grants

Programme Closing Date: 7 February 2013

Doctoral students working on the AHRC ‘Iberian and Latin American Language and Culture’ programme are based in the Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies (SPLAS) sectionÂ of the School of Modern Languages, at Newcastle University. Staff research and supervision expertise in SPLAS is oriented towards the interdisciplinary study of Latin America on the one hand, and towards linguistic and cultural study of the Iberian Peninsula, on the other hand. Our disciplinary range covers film studies, literature, anthropology, cultural studies, intellectual, cultural and political history, linguistics, and sociolinguistics. All supervision in the HaSS Faculty is collaborative; depending on research topic, co-supervision may be arranged within the School of Modern Languages, or with Hispanist and Latin Americanist colleagues in other Schools.

Staff and postgraduate members of SPLAS benefit from an excellent research environment, shaped by regular School Research Seminars, in addition to the strong programme of Research Conferences and Events organised by the range of research groups:Â the Americas Research Group, the Gender Research Group, the Postcolonial Studies Research Group, the Research Group in Film and Media, and the Centre for Research in Linguistics and Language Sciences.

The School’s Open Access Centre houses a wide range of linguistic and media resources, including those of the Instituto CamÃµes-sponsored Centro de LÃngua Portuguesa.

For 2013 entry, we will be awarding at least one studentship in Iberian and Latin American Language and Culture through the AHRC’s Doctoral Awards scheme. This scheme provides studentships to enable students to undertake and complete a doctoral degree (PhD).
