Overview
AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Award
‘Seeing the sacred in the museum: exploring the significance of religious and secular subjectivities for visitor engagement with religious objects'
Birkbeck College, University of London, in collaboration with the British Museum
The aim of this doctoral project will be to explore the ways in which visitors engage with religious objects at the British Museum, focusing particularly on whether it is possible to identify ways of seeing or engaging with objects that relate more generally to religious and secular subjectivities. Drawing together current research in material religion and museum visitor research, the award-holder will undertake original empirical work that will both add to our understanding of the performance of religious and secular subjectivities in public cultural spaces as well how museum evaluation work might engage in new ways with religious dimensions of visitor experience.
Benefits
The studentship is available from 1 October 2010, and the award-holder will benefit from the wide range of postgraduate support available at Birkbeck as well as from the experience of working closely with colleagues at a world-leading museum. The studentship covers full fees and a maintenance allowance at standard AHRC rates for central London institutions.
Eligible Candidates
