ANZAMEMS Facebook group for Postgraduate and ECR members

The Australian and New Zealand Association for Medieval and Early Modern Studies (Inc.) would like to announce the availability of a Facebook group for Postgraduate and Early Career Researcher members of the association. As an added feature of membership, scholars setting out in their careers will gain access to a space for the sharing of relevant links, discussion about medieval and early modern studies, and community support. The group is moderated by James Smith (Postgraduate Representative for Australia) and Daniel Leadbeater (Postgraduate Representative for New Zealand).

We will be beginning group activity with a survey about desirable topics for a future association Postgraduate Advanced Training Seminar (PATS). Please go to https://www.facebook.com/groups/419812468109448/ if you are a current association member and wish to join. Any queries may be directed to James (james.smith@uwa.edu.au) or Daniel (daniel.leadbeater@pg.canterbury.ac.nz). If you have joined the association recently, you can forward your receipt for membership to a postgraduate representative.

Louis Marder Shakespeare Centre Scholarship – Call For Applications

The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust
The Louis Marder Shakespeare Centre Scholarship 2013

Are you studying Shakespeare at college, university, or for leisure? Are you going to be using the archives or library of The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust? You might be interested in applying for the Louis Marder Shakespeare Centre Scholarship (or recommending it to a friend).

This annual scholarship of £1,000 will be awarded to ‘a worthy Shakespearian currently pursuing a Ph.D. or similar study, who pledges to produce an original, publishable article on a previously approved literary, historical, or biographical topic about William Shakespeare (as opposed to character analysis or authorship studies) from The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust Library or Archives, approved by The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust’s assigned authorities, within two years of the accepted funds. The intent of the award is to inspire, stimulate, and promote archival scholarship.’

More details about the scholarship can be found at the following entry at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust blog, Blogging Shakespeare: http://bloggingshakespeare.com/louis-marder-shakespeare-centre-scholarship.

The deadline for submissions is Tuesday 23 April. The winner will be informed on Friday 17 May.
