PhD Cultural Studies
PhD Cultural Studies engages critically with the study of everyday life – with the ‘deep ordinariness’ of the world.
Studying cultural consumption, popular culture, multicultures, cultural values and the radicalism or conservatism of cultural politics involves thinking about culture as it is felt and lived. Cultural Studies at Sussex can be researched using a humanities (textual) approach or social scientific (empirical) methods, or a combination of both.
We welcome applications to PhD Cultural Studies to work with our co-Directors, Associate Directors and Associated Faculty. You can also apply for co-supervision with a member of faculty from any school in the university. You can explore our directory of members for more information on potential supervisors.
Sussex Centre for Cultural Studies brings together faculty and post graduate researchers from schools and departments across the university. We work collaboratively to build a programme of workshops, conferences and events – all of which you’re welcome to participate in. Our members apply innovative methods and cutting-edge approaches to culture, power and agency.
