The Society for Caribbean Studies invites applications for the David Nicholls research award for UK and overseas students. This supports original research towards a dissertation or thesis that benefits directly from access to the David Nicholls memorial library at Regent’s Park College, Oxford. The collection contains David’s personal library, research notes and his published materials on Haiti, Trinidad and modern politics in the Caribbean, as well as an extensive collection of publications on Caribbean societies, politics and theology. The library catalogue is augmented annually by acquisitions of new publications on current Caribbean research from across the Social Sciences and Humanities. Applicants may also indicate how their research might benefit from access to material housed in other libraries in Oxford.
Postgraduate students at universities in the UK or overseas may apply. Applications from students in the Caribbean are particularly welcome.
The award is worth up to £1,500 as a contribution towards expenses such as travel to and subsistence in Oxford, library fees or copying charges for material in the library.
