A student in the library
The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) has awarded King's College London approximately £5.2 million to support postgraduate studentships and training in the social sciences. The King's Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Centre (KISS-DTC) has won a coveted place in the national network of training centres accredited by ESRC after the awarding committee was 'impressed with the strategy and vision behind the King's bid' and singled out the 'very strong interdisciplinary focus' of the Centre for particular praise. Rather than conventional disciplines or departments, the KISS-DTC is organised around 15 cross-cutting research themes in the broad domains of health, regulation and public services, social change, and security. The KISS-DTC themes reflect areas of established research excellence at King's and the College's long-standing commitment to interdisciplinary ways of working. Professor David Demeritt, KISS-DTC Director said, 'This latest award doubles the number of ESRC studentships we can provide to support doctoral study in the social sciences at King's. It represents a huge vote of confidence in our approach to social sciences and in the quality and wider impact of our research and training activity across the 15 KISS-DTC themes.
