About the research

Dr Christina Phillips has been awarded £14,418 from the British Academy under its Rising Star Engagement Award to set up an Early Career Middle Eastern Studies Research Network. The Network is an initiative aimed at creating connections between PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows in the field of Middle Eastern Studies and providing them with career-enhancing opportunities. It will involve a workshop, mentoring scheme and a website/online hub where members can share practice, expertise and resources as well as communicate their projects to wider audiences.
