The two awards will be shared between the RSHA’s Centre for Digital Humanities Research(CDHR) and the Humanities Research Centre (HRC).
The ICCR graduate program offers students a unique
interdisciplinary program to explore new modes of research, as well as use
traditional scholarly methods, to provide innovative insights into the
different ways that cross-cultural relations, histories and public and applied
humanities are constructed and represented. As a scholarship recipient you will
be encouraged to adopt an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective in your
research.
We offer expert supervision within and across a range of
disciplinary boundaries. Supervisory coordination will be provided by academic
staff from CDHR and
the HRC.
