AFRICAN CRITICAL INQUIRY PROGRAMME

IVAN KARP DOCTORAL RESEARCH AWARDS FOR AFRICAN STUDENTS ENROLLED IN SOUTH AFRICAN Ph.D. PROGRAMS

Closing Date: Tuesday 1 May 2018

The African Critical Inquiry Programme is pleased to announce the 2018 Ivan
Karp Doctoral Research Awards to support African doctoral students in the
humanities and humanistic social sciences who are enrolled at South African universities
and conducting dissertation research on relevant topics. Grant amounts vary
depending on research plans, with a maximum award of ZAR 40,000.

The African Critical Inquiry Programme (ACIP) seeks to advance inquiry and
debate about the roles and practice of public culture, public cultural
institutions and public scholarship in shaping identities and society in
Africa. The Ivan Karp Doctoral Research Awards are open to African
postgraduate students (regardless of citizenship) in the humanities and
humanistic social sciences. Applicants must be currently registered in a
Ph.D. programme in a South African university and be working on topics
related to ACIP's focus. Awards will support doctoral research projects
focused on topics such as institutions of public culture, particular
aspects of museums and exhibitions, forms and practices of public scholarship, culture
and communication, and the theories, histories and systems of thought that
shape and illuminate public culture and public scholarship. Awards are open
to proposals working with a range of methodologies in the humanities and
humanistic social sciences, including research in archives and collections,
fieldwork, interviews, surveys, and quantitative data collection.
