Are you interested in BSL, deaf community lives, Scotland and/or history & geography?

Looking for a fully funded PhD opportunity?

Curious about questions like:

Which are the places that matter most to members of the signing community, and why?

What signs do BSL users use relating to heritage?

Do they have common sign-names for sites and places?

How do signing deaf people describe their relationships with locally and nationally significant built heritage?

What barriers exist to their interest, interaction or emotional connections with the places looked after by Historic Environment Scotland?

There’s up to four years’ funding available (fees, research costs and stipend - National Minimum Doctoral Stipend for 2020/21 is £15,285).

If the researcher hired for this project could be you, take a look at the details below.
