Location of University of Kent, Canterbury Campus
The British Cartoon Archive was established in 1973 at the University of Kent, to collect and preserve British cartoons of social and political comment, and make them freely available for study. It is a library, archive, gallery and registered museum, dedicated to the history of British cartooning over the last 200 years. CartoonHub, an online cartoon database shared with a number of other institutions, is also the world's largest electronic archive of cartoons, with a catalogued database of over 120,000 images, the majority of which are stored in original in the Centre. It is therefore an excellent resource for research students, capable of supporting a range of different research interests and specialities.
We accept candidates for the degree of MA, MPhil or PhD by research and thesis. Staff supervision comes from the appropriate departments.
Contents
The School of History at Kent currently consists of 22 full-time members of staff (along with two Research Associates and one Senior Research Fellow). Our research covers everything from the medieval papacy to the history of myrmecology (the study of ants), and features particular strengths in disciplines such as gender history, cultural history, military history, medieval history, environmental history and the history of science and medicine.
Inside the School, we have two well-established research centres, the Centre for History of Science, Technology and Medicine, headed by Professor Crosbie Smith, and the Centre for the Study of Propaganda and War led by Professor David Welch.
We also have staff involved in two Faculty-wide centres: the Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS), headed by Dr Catherine Richardson, and the Centre for American Studies, directed by Dr Karen Jones. The Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies was founded in 1996. It boasts a complement of world leading researchers, a thriving postgraduate community, regular conferences and a weekly research seminar series, and maintains strong links with Canterbury Cathedal closeby. The research profile of American Studies is marked by contemporary, pioneering work. The Centre features three research clusters tackling the American West, US environmental issues, and race, ethnicity and borders. With the arrival of new History appointments, both centres are in an exciting stage of development.
