Six applicants to the University of Kent were selected this month for Arts and Humanities Research Council studentships through the Consortium for the Humanities and the Arts South-East England (CHASE). Many congratulations to these applicants! Staff and fellow postgraduate research students in departments across the Division of Arts and Humanities are very much looking forward to welcoming these incoming scholarship holders to Kent in Autumn 2021.

As an active consortium of 9 research-intensive institutions, CHASE fosters collaborations that provide inspiring research-led training across the arts, humanities and creative practices. Working across institutions and disciplines, and in partnership with organisations in the creative and public sectors, CHASE supports a rich and responsive environment for new research.

CHASE training enables doctoral students to enrich their research and professional skills in readiness for careers in the academy and beyond. In addition, Kent has also been successful in securing two CHASE Collaborative Doctoral Awards. These awards support a student to work in partnership with an external organisation, and this year’s awards at Kent (deadline for applications 7 May) are in partnership with Incomindios UK and with the Instituto Cubano de Investigación Cultural Juan Marinello. See Indigenous Arts and Environmental Justice and Emerging digital cultures in contemporary Cuba for more details.
