This is a Fully Funded Scholarship for a four-year PhD in early modern history worth €93,912. Interested applicants are advised to read the requirements and apply.
Applications are invited for a four-year PhD Studentship in early modern history. The successful applicant will join the ‘Malcontents: Order and Disorder in the Early Modern World of Learning’ project which is led by Dr Richard Kirwan of the Department of History and the Centre for Early Modern Studies, University of Limerick. The project will be funded by the Irish Research Council.
The Malcontents project aims to explore outsider experiences in the early modern world of learning with a focus on the universities of the Holy Roman Empire and the Low Countries. The project will uncover the processes that led to the identification of social and intellectual deviance and the marginalisation of malcontents in universities. In doing so, the project will establish how the treatment of deviance facilitated the substantiation of order in the early modern university and beyond.
