| The British
Wittgenstein Society has sponsored one 3-year bursary to a UK or
international student wishing to pursue PhD research at the
University
of Hertfordshire on a topic relating to Wittgenstein's
philosophy. It is hoped further bursaries may be available.
Meanwhile, a
Wittgenstein Studentship in Philosophy tenable from 1 October
2013 is offered by Trinity College. Click for
application details.
The current recipient of
the BWS bursary is Britt Harrison. She came to philosophy as a mature student,
after A Levels in Maths, Physics and Chemistry, and a first
undergraduate degree in Art History, at the Courtauld
Institute of Art. Whilst working in the film industry, as a
script consultant, she began studying in the evenings at
London University’s Birkbeck College, where she took her BA
in Philosophy, (achieving a First Class Honours). She followed
this with an MA, again at Birkbeck, (gaining a Distinction),
for which she offered a thesis that took a Wittgensteinian
look at religious belief.
Britt began her PhD research at the University of
Hertfordshire in September
2008. The title of her PhD dissertation is 'The
Epistemology of Know-How'.
