We are delighted to announce the creation of a new PhD programme in Economic and Social History at the University of Southampton. This has been set up in conjunction with the establishment of the University’s ESRC Doctoral Training Centre. We are planning to recruit PhD students from the start of the new academic year and we intend to establish a new Masters programme in Economic and Social History from October 2012.
The ESH team in Southampton brings together a range of staff who are located in a number of different academic disciplines across the University, including Economics, Gerontology, History, Management, Modern Languages, Social Statistics, and Sociology and Social Policy. For full details of our individual and collective interests, and further information about how to apply, please visit our website:

For more information about opportunities for economic and social historians, please contact Bernard Harris, Professor of the History of Social Policy, at bjh2 [at] soton.ac.uk. Please note that all applications for DTC studentships must be received by noon on Tuesday, 19th April 2011.
