Good news!

The Economics and Social Research Council Doctoral Training Centre at the University of Warwick have agreed to fund a PhD studentship to investigate The Potential of the Arts in Contemporary Education. This studentship will be held between the Departments of Sociology and Theatre and Performance Studies. It will included an extended period ’embedded in Stan’s Cafe’ as we charge about doing our Creative Learning work in schools around Birmingham. There will be lots of support from the university. The ESRC funding means that the fees are paid plus there is a maintenance stipend (terms and conditions apply – as they say).

I don’t know how many of these opportunities there are out there but if you know anyone with a serious interest in how the arts can impact on contemporary education, who wants to get their hands dirty and check out what’s actually going on and what could be possible then please point them in the direction of the jobs.ac.uk website that carries all the details. The application deadline is 29th April. We are very excited at the possibility of helping someone out as they grapple with this challenge, it should be a lot of fun.
