AHRC Midlands4Cities PhD funding for UK and International applicants 

The AHRC-funded Midlands4Cities Doctoral Training Partnership (M4C) brings together eight leading universities across the Midlands to support the professional and personal development of the next generation of arts and humanities doctoral researchers. M4C is a collaboration between the University of Birmingham, Birmingham City University, University of Warwick, Coventry University, University of Leicester, De Montfort University, Nottingham Trent University and The University of Nottingham.

M4C is awarding up to 93 doctoral studentships for UK and international applicants for 2022 through an open competition and Collaborative Doctoral Awards (CDA) Collaborative Doctoral Awards (CDA) working with a range of partner organisations in the cultural, creative and heritage sector.

Theatre and Performance Studies in the School of Creative Arts, Performance and Visual Cultures (SCAPVC) at the University of Warwick is inviting applications from students whose research interests connect with our fields of expertise.


Our research is characterised by its international reach and its commitment to robust critical enquiry. Our research explores a wide range of contemporary theatre and performance practice as well as their lineages, cultural histories and relationship to social, institutional and socio-economic contexts and conditions. Our research is deeply invested in the politics of performance and the myriad ways it can challenge and critique dominant orthodoxies. It adopts many approaches, perspectives, methods and techniques including community-based projects, ethnographic research, performance analysis, archival research, practice-as-research, performance pedagogies and technology enabled networks. Dynamic interdisciplinarity is a notable feature of our research culture that ranges from outputs intersecting with psychiatry, psychoanalysis and philosophy to those that emerge from our long-standing collaboration with Politics and International Studies here at Warwick. Our research is centred on the following themes:

    • Ethics, Politics, Praxis
    • Cities, Places, Environments
    • Memories, Histories, Futures
    • Theory, Aesthetics and the Popular
    • Theory, Aesthetics and the Popular
