The Master and Fellows of Christ's College would like to announce that Dr Sharon Achinstein will lecture on Milton: poetry vs. prose in Room 3, Mill Lane Lecture Rooms, Cambridge, on Wednesday, 7 May 2008 at 5.15 p.m. All are welcome.

LEVY-PLUMB FUND FOR THE HUMANITIES - VISUAL ARTS STUDENTSHIP, 2008-09

The Managers of the Christ's College Levy-Plumb Fund for the Humanities invite applications from final-year undergraduate or graduate student members of the University for a one-year Studentship in the Visual Arts, tenable for the 2008-09 academical year. It is expected that the holder will be based in Christ's College from 1 October 2008 to mid-July 2008 (except where the holder opts to spend a period away from Cambridge, for example for travel or study in a foreign country).

The Studentship will be valued at £10,000 for the year, plus an additional sum of up to £1,250 to cover approved materials and expenses, and a further accommodation allowance of £500, since the College will be unable to offer graduate accommodation to the recipient; the award also covers College Fees for graduate membership of the College. The Managers would also consider applications by the holder for financial assistance with related travel. Although remaining as a resident member of the University, the holder will not need to register for any formal degree or other qualification, but will be expected to use the year to develop his or her ideas and practical work. The College has studio facilities available and the holder of the award would be expected to use those facilities as the base for their work. Other things being equal, preference would be given to a current member of Christ's College, and anyone appointed who is not already a member of the College would be expected to become a member.

Any eligible person who is interested in being considered for the award should write to Dr Sophie Read at Christ's College, St Andrew's Street, Cambridge, CB2 3BU, by Friday, 13 June 2008, giving an indication in outline of their current work in the Visual Arts and of how they would wish to spend the year. Applicants should also make available some visual images, whether as portfolio, CD or web address, as part of their submission. Applicants must be available for interview in the week beginning Monday, 23 June 2008.
