                • Creative ways of using archives to engage with the past, including visual or arts-based                methodologies.
                • Digital engagement with narratives of violent historical pasts and archive-making.
                • Archiving the “unfinished business" of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
                • Imagining an archive of experiences of redress and setting a social justice agenda.
                • Stretching the meaning of archive to incorporate tangible and intangible materials and                           practices.
                • Explore how archival practices can create imaginaries and expose shared pasts as well as                      diversity, across deep and present time.


  Applicants are required to submit a short draft proposal with their application. To                                          be considered for the Master's scholarship, candidates should have received a                                      minimum average of 70% for all subjects at the Honours level. A key criterion for                              selection of students will be the fit between their interests and abilities and the                                                interest area described above. Demonstrable knowledge of qualitative research                                      methods in the Humanities and Social Sciences will be ascribed high importance.
