Overview
The Department of Politics, History and International Relations at Loughborough University invites applications for a fully-funded ESRC doctoral studentship. The studentship provides three years of fees (UK/EU status) and an annual stipend of c. £13290 (amount TBC) for a student to undertake a PhD. The deadline for receipt of full application is Friday, 5 March. Dr Marcus Collins, Dr Siobhan Lambert-Hurley, Dr Robert Knight and Prof Chris Szejnmann would like to hear from anyone interested in studying for a PhD in modern history.
Marcus Collins is Lecturer in Modern British History. His interests include the 1960s, permissiveness, popular culture, national identity, gender, sexuality, historiography and the experience of modernity in twentieth-century Britain. His first book, Modern Love (2003), explored how women's emancipation changed the theory and practice of friendship, marriage and sexual activity from the fin de siècle to the present. He then edited The Permissive Society and Its Enemies: Sixties British Culture, out of which sprung his current book project entitled ‘Great Freedom: The Beatles and the Permissive Society’. He would particularly welcome enquiries from students wishing to research popular culture or identity politics in the 1960s and beyond.
Robert Knight is Senior Lecturer in International History. His main research interests are the legacy of National Socialism in Germany and Austria for example denazification, antisemitism, restitution and the treatment of Slav minorities. He has also published on the Cold War in Central Europe and post-war British Foreign Policy, including a recent article on Denazification in Carinthia in the Journal of Modern History. He was a member of the Austrian Historians' Commission, investigating Austrian restitution and compensation policy (1998-2003). He gave the 2006 Glasgow Holocaust Memorial Lecture on 'Austria and the Holocaust.' He is currently completing a study of the Carinthian Slovenes in post-war Austria and editing a book on Ethnicity in the Cold War.
Siobhan Lambert-Hurley is Lecturer in Modern History. She would welcome research students interested in women’s history, Islam, autobiography, the culture of travel, education, and/or princely states in modern South Asia. Her current research project is on Muslim women’s autobiographical writing in South Asia with a focus on changing notions of the self. She also leads an AHRC-funded network on ‘Women’s Autobiography in Islamic Societies’. Her publications include Muslim Women, Reform and Princely Patronage: Nawab Sultan Jahan Begam of Bhopal (2007), A Princess's Pilgrimage: Nawab Sikandar Begum's A Pilgrimage to Mecca (2007)and Rhetoric and Reality: Gender and the Colonial Experience in South Asia (with A. Powell) (2006). Forthcoming is Atiya’s Journeys: A Muslim Woman from Colonial Bombay to Edwardian Britain (with Sunil Sharma).
Chris Szejnmann is Professor of Modern History. His interests encompass modern Germany, the phenomena of anti-Semitism and fascism, and teaching and learning methodologies, in particular e-learning and the use of film. The main questions that have engaged him are how people responded to Nazism, how they behaved during the ‘Third Reich’, and how Germans and non-Germans have come to terms with the Second World War and the Holocaust after 1945. His main publications are Rethinking History, Dictatorship and War: New Approaches and Interpretations (ed., 2009), Ordinary People as Mass Murderers: Perpetrators in Comparative Perspective (eds., with Olaf Jensen, 2008), How the Holocaust Looks Now: International Perspectives (ed., with M.L. Davies, 2006), Vom Traum zum Alptraum. Sachsen während der Weimarer Republik (2000), Nazism in Central Germany: The Brownshirts in ‘Red’ Saxony (1999).
