From The Other Room’s Scott Thurston…

Once again, as part of the North West Consortium of universities (NWC), the University of Salford is keen to receive proposals for PhDs in a variety of Arts and Humanities subjects. If your proposal is accepted then you may be eligible for funding. We are initially looking for expressions of interest accompanied by a draft proposal by 3rd December 2015. If viable you will be asked to submit a formal proposal to Salford by the 22nd January and, if accepted at this stage, you’ll be asked to submit a funding proposal to the NWC by 12 February

Because of the nature of this email list, I would like to let you know that I am particularly interested in receiving proposals for PhDs in Creative Writing, with a focus on innovative poetic practice. I work in the context of the English Language, Literature and Creative Practice research group, which is also keen to receive proposals for PhDs in Literature across a range of areas.

Please see the following link for more details:

More information will be available on the Salford website in due course. Michael Goddard is the official contact for the School of Arts and Media (m.goddard@salford.ac.uk) to discuss your proposal, but please also contact me directly at S.Thurston@salford.ac.uk if you have an idea that you wish to discuss.
