| The British
Wittgenstein Society offers a 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.
The next bursary is £13,590 (or current AHRC
studentship rate) annually
for 3 years. An application date for the next bursary,
starting in autumn 2011 will shortly be announced.
The first 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 working title of her
PhD dissertation is 'Implications for Epistemology in the
work of Wittgenstein: particularly the relation between
knowing-how and knowing-that.' It will be published on this
website in due course.
