Doctor of Philosophy [Ph.D] [Drama] From Queen Mary, University of London

Queen Mary is a partner in the AHRC-funded London Arts and Humanities Partnership (LAHP). Eligible applicants to the PhD Programme in the Department of Drama are encouraged to apply for an AHRC studentship. LAHP offers up to 90 studentships per year for postgraduate research students studying arts and humanities disciplines at Queen Mary and seven other institutions across London.Research students are a central part of intellectual life in Drama. They contribute significantly to our research culture and to the discipline more widely. In addition to pursuing their own scholarly projects, students organise DramaÕs research seminar series Quorum, as well as symposia and conferences driven by their research interests. Students also present their research at national and international conferences, publish articles, reviews, journalism, plays, and DVDs, and perform widely at venues in the UK and internationally. Research students play an important part in DramaÕs collaborations with leading arts organisations, including the Barbican, Shakespeare's Globe, Gran Teatre del Liceu Barcelona, ActorsÕ Touring Company, the London Film Festival, LIFT, and AfroReggae.
