The student will explore three extensive collections of personal petitions from the Hanoverian and early Victorian periods. These documents capture the appeals, tactics, and language of poorer Britons as they interacted with different state authorities. Using a comparative framework for the first time, the student will link the nascent historiographies on personal petitions from (i) the poor, (ii) convicted criminals, their relatives, and the victims of crime, and (iii) sailors, naval employees, and their families. The resultant doctorate will reveal the negotiation of power relations between Britain's governors and the governed. However, the collaborative nature of this studentship will require the successful applicant to share their research with (i) archivists and curators within the two collaborative institutions, (ii) members of the public using or visiting The National Archives and National Maritime Museum.

学生将探索汉诺威时期和维多利亚早期时期的三份广泛的个人请愿书集。这些文件记录了较贫穷的英国人在与不同国家当局互动时的诉求、策略和语言。学生将首次使用比较框架，将新兴的个人请愿历史记录联系起来，这些个人请愿来自（i）穷人，（ii）被定罪的罪犯、他们的亲属和犯罪受害者，以及（iii）水手、海军雇员及其家人。由此产生的博士学位将揭示英国总督与被统治者之间权力关系的谈判。然而，该学生奖学金的合作性质将要求成功的申请人与（i）两个合作机构内的档案管理员和策展人，（ii）使用或参观国家档案馆和国家海事博物馆的公众分享他们的研究成果。
