The Edwin Cuthbert Hall Postgraduate Research Scholarship

A stipend scholarship to support a PhD student researching ethnolinguistic prehistory in the School of Humanities at the University of Sydney. The successful candidate will specialize in ethnolinguistic prehistory, with an interdisciplinary focus on the material cultures, productive strategies and linguistic features of Eastern Himalayan populations. They will contribute to the project 'Trans-Asian Prehistoric Dispersals of Plant Cultivars,' studying the dispersal of early domesticated plants across Asia from their centres of origin in the Middle East and East/South-East Asia. This scholarship was established in 2020 and is funded by a bequest made in 1959 from the Estate of Edwin Cuthbert Hall, who graduated in 1894 from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Medicine and Chirurgery.
