We combine a long tradition in a field of scholarship pioneered at Sussex with a commitment to fostering new and emerging fields of inquiry. Core supervisory expertise is offered in:
• British political thought c1500-1900
• early modern intellectual history
• the Scottish Enlightenment and 18th-century political thought
• political thought in 19th-century Europe. We also welcome outstanding applications in adjacent areas that reflect Sussex’s interdisciplinary approach to intellectual history, which has traditionally spanned history, literature, philosophy, classics, politics, economics and theology.
