PhD Studentship on Oral Histories and Changing Coastal Livelihoods
Time and Tide Museum / Anglia Ruskin University
Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) and Time and Tide Museum (part of Norfolk Museums Service) are pleased to announce a fully-funded collaborative doctoral studentship, beginning October 2025, under the AHRC’s Collaborative Doctoral Partnership (CDP) scheme.
The Time and Tide Museum (T&T) holds a remarkable archive of 350 oral histories—the Great Yarmouth Voices (GYV) Collection. This Studentship offers the opportunity to analyse these Oral Histories (OHs) for the first time, and to collect new OHs from diverse voices. The purpose of the research is to explore how socio-ecological change is narrated through coastal livelihoods, and how these construct Great Yarmouth as a place – considering how insights from the past can be useful for coastal resilience today.
Post Location: Work with the collection in Great Yarmouth, with some travel to ARU Cambridge (UK)

Hours per Week: Available full-time or part-time
Regional Area: East of England
Tax-free Annual Stipend: £20,780 (pro rata) plus uplifts
