PhD scholarship available
Posted: Fri Apr 16, 2010 12:30 pm
Dear all,
There may be interest in the PhD scholarship advertised at http://www.scholarships.ed.ac.uk/postgr ... oillse.htm.
Applications are sought in relation to the following three research topics (all of them often discussed in this forum, AmP):
1. Language use, competence and attitudes among adults who received Gaelic-medium education.
2. Strategies for promoting Gaelic language use and Gaelic fluency among pre-school children.
3. Successful and unsuccessful practices by public bodies in relation to staff Gaelic language capacity (recruitment and training).
Applicants may also propose a different research topic but this must fit clearly within the parameters of the Soillse initiative and its overarching research themes: Gaelic as a family and community language, Gaelic language use, Gaelic identity and self-confidence, Gaelic in education, and policies for Gaelic.
Applicants should be able to speak, read and write Gaelic. Applicants who do not currently have all these skills will be expected to develop competence in Gaelic such that they can conduct and present academic research through the medium of Gaelic. Appropriate language training will be provided.
Best wishes,
Am Portagaileach
