项目摘要

PhD Studentship in History in Collaborative Doctoral Partnership with The National ArchivesBy studying the criminal branch of the High Court of Admiralty, this project will explore the relationship between law, crime, and empire in the early modern maritime world. The project will focus on the early seventeenth century, when England, Scotland, and Ireland were first united under one monarch in James VI and I, while British commercial and colonial activities expanded, establishing both exchange and conflict with a greater range of communities and cultures around the world. While James also made peace with other imperial powers, his government struggled to control its seafaring subjects, many of whom did not abandon the plundering habits they had previously adopted in wartime.The High Court of Admiralty offers a unique opportunity to examine this important moment in British imperial and maritime history. The project will combine history from above and from below, examining both the state policy implemented by the court and the experiences of the diverse range of people who appeared before it. Witnesses and litigants in the court included pirates, merchants, and sailors, their families, members of other maritime trades, and people from beyond Britain - such as seafarers from Islamic North Africa who were accused of piracy. The project will therefore integrate institutional, political, and social history to investigate this court as both an instrument of empire and a site for imperial confrontations (whether between Britain and its own subjects or involving other communities).Within the scope of the project's stated objectives, the student will be encouraged to develop the research agenda and questions to follow their own interests, and (under the guidance of the supervisors) will design and implement the research programme. The student will also receive extensive training in both archival practice and historical scholarship, as well as being introduced to newly developed techniques from digital humanities.

通过对英国海事高等法院刑事分院的研究，该项目将探索早期现代海洋世界中法律、犯罪和帝国之间的关系。该项目将重点关注17世纪早期，当时英格兰、苏格兰和爱尔兰在詹姆斯六世和一世的君主统治下首次统一，而英国的商业和殖民活动不断扩大，与世界各地更广泛的社区和文化建立了交流和冲突。虽然詹姆斯也与其他帝国列强媾和，但他的政府努力控制其航海臣民，其中许多人并没有放弃他们以前在战时采取的掠夺习惯。海军部高等法院提供了一个独特的机会来研究英国帝国和海事历史上的这一重要时刻。该项目将从上下两方面结合历史，考察朝廷实施的国家政策和朝廷之前出现的形形色色的人的经历。法庭上的证人和诉讼当事人包括海盗、商人、水手、他们的家人、其他海上贸易的成员，以及来自英国以外的人——比如来自伊斯兰北非的海员，他们被指控为海盗。因此，该项目将整合制度、政治和社会历史，以调查这个法院既是帝国的工具，也是帝国对抗的场所（无论是在英国与自己的臣民之间还是涉及其他社区之间）。在项目规定的目标范围内，鼓励学生根据自己的兴趣制定研究议程和问题，并（在导师的指导下）设计和实施研究计划。学生还将接受档案实践和历史学术方面的广泛培训，并学习数字人文学科的新技术。
