Research strands
In addition to providing an open forum for intellectual exchange among academic staff and postgraduates working in the modern period, CModS also cultivates more intensive research efforts in a few key areas during each academic year, known as the CModS Research Strands. Led by staff in one or more departments at the University of York, these strands serve as focal points for activities and funding within the centre.
Leaders of research strands organise conferences, study days and other opportunities for collaboration in a series of events held over an academic year, in preparation for publication, grant applications or other forms of research development. Research strands are selected based on their ability to generate both interest among staff across the Centre's core disciplines and the promise of significant research production. Successful strands may continue for more than one academic year.
Applications for research strands for the academic year 2012-2013 have now closed, but you are welcome to discuss ideas for future strands with Jason Edwards jason.edwards@york.ac.uk. A new round of applications will be announced in the winter of 2012-2013.
CModS also awards a number of small project grants each year.
