The University of Liverpool has been awarded funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) to support internships for recently completed PhD students to work with local cultural organisations. The AHRC's Cultural Engagement Fund will support collaborative projects that strengthen the University's ties with regional cultural organisations including Tate Liverpool, Fact, Bluecoat, Liverpool Philharmonic, Manchester Hallé, National Museums Liverpool (NML) and the Liverpool Biennial. Supporting arts and humanities research The internships will provide early career researchers with opportunities to develop a wide range of skills, particularly in relation to supporting the wider impact of arts and humanities research, and gain valuable experience of the arts and cultural sector. The University's Centre for Architecture and Visual Arts will work with Tate Liverpool to bring researchers and practitioners together to share current theories of gallery education and public engagement. "The four projects which have been supported will provide great opportunities for early career researchers to gain first-hand experience of working in the arts and culture sector” The Department of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology will support a curator based at NML to develop a new archaeological display aimed at improving the public's knowledge and awareness of archaeological and anthropological artefacts. The Department of Philosophy will evaluate and build on the philosophy of art workshops it ran for children and families during the recent Liverpool Biennial.
