Welcome to the new College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences Postgraduates' Research webpage! We are hoping that by keeping the essential information on each doctoral student to a single page and under clearly listed headings, and by simplifying the keyword search function, this platform will encourage and foster creative intellectual connections between individuals within and beyond the College.
This user-friendly approach is designed to exhibit the rich, varied, exciting and innovative research projects currently underway in the humanities, and to acknowledge the exceptional individuals undertaking it. Whether you are from our College, our University, or from farther afield, please take some time to explore these portfolios, to connect with like-minded scholars, and (hopefully) to embark on new collaborative journeys!
Dr Barry Monahan - Vice Head of College (Graduate Studies)
I’d like to add my welcome to that of Vice Head of College Barry Monahan. Whether you are already studying for a PhD in the College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences, or are thinking about doctoral level study, or want to locate a doctoral researcher with whom you may have some intellectual interest in common, I hope you find these pages a great help.
Studying for a PhD is an exciting step in many academic careers, when one first begins to develop the attributes of the truly independent researcher, pushing at the boundaries of existing knowledge. But it can also be challenging, because the outcomes of your research are, rightly, not preordained, and because a doctoral project is, inevitably, highly specific and personal to you.
At the beginning of my career, in a different country and a different century (!), I transitioned from having been an undergraduate in a large university where there were over 300 graduating in my subject, to being the only full-time doctoral student in my subject in a different (though still quite large) university. That wasn’t an easy transition to make, quite apart from the doubt and uncertainty that accompanies any original research project. So we in the College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences want to do all we can to support you and make your research a time of great discovery and growth. You are not alone!
Professor Chris Williams - Head of College
