PhD International studentship A history of feminism on television

A PhD research studentship is available within the Cinema and Television History Research Centre and in conjunction with the Media Discourse Group, which both have reputations for 'world-leading' research.istoryHI

The project will investigate the emergence of discourses of feminism on British television within a critical period of social change during the second half of the 20th century. It will involve conducting archival research and working closely with a broader AHRC-funded project, 'A History of Television for Women', to trace and analyse the coverage of 'feminism' within factual programming within the context of British public service broadcasting.
