The William R McFarlane Scholarship

The Edinburgh Centre for Global History (ECGH) invites applications from outstanding candidates for the William R. McFarlane Scholarship. This award provides an annual stipend at the UKRI rate, tuition fees at UK or international rate, and some travel funding. The successful applicant will become a member of the 'Migration, Slavery and Diaspora Studies' Hub within the ECGH, which boasts a lively and supportive postgraduate community. The successful applicant will be expected to participate in the ECGH's activities, including the Graduate Workshop. The scholarship panel will consider all high quality proposals relating to migration and/or diaspora studies from any period, and from any geographical region. Although Scottish history is a core concern, the Migration, Slavery and Diaspora Studies Hub has broad transnational interests, and welcomes projects relating to other nations or regions that put the Scottish example in a comparative perspective.
