Remember that, in addition to the advertised projects, there is also an open call for our @leverhulme.bsky.social PhD funding - that means that you can propose to us a project which fits within our four themes and suggest supervisors from our large team @kcl.ac.uk and @memsunikent.bsky.social

Who is involved with Knowledge Orders? It is an innovative partnership between @kcl.ac.uk and @memsunikent.bsky.social at the University of Kent. Both have strong reputations for their research and for skills training at MA level. The aim is to support PhD students to develop those skills further.

Why Knowledge Orders *before modernity*? Because as our societies are re-shaped by digital opportunities and global challenges, we can recognise how modernity constructed its perception of past cultures in its own image - and use new tools and perspectives to study afresh handwritten heritage.

What is Knowledge Orders before Modernity (KOM) about? It's about the handwritten across more than a millennium, about the cultures that ordered manuscripts and documents into being and about the ways those manuscripts, documents and other forms of lettering gave order to those cultures.
