Post-Reformation Sculptural Monuments of York Minster Studentship

You'll be able to shape the thesis in dialogue with your supervisors, with, for example, particular foci on questions of gender, race, and empire; materiality and iconography; specific historical conflicts and regimental histories; debates about the Gothic revival, and the relationship of sculptural monuments to their immediate and changing architectural and ecclesiastical contexts in the Minster, as well as the Minster's longer histories of architectural and tomb sculpture.

You'll be jointly supervised by Prof. Jason Edwards, an expert in long nineteenth-century sculptural pantheons, in particular at St Paul's cathedral; and Dr. Erhan Tamur, an expert in the intersections of curatorial practice and decolonisation. You will also meet twice annually with an additional thesis advisory panel member from the Department. This opportunity is also available part-time.
