Nottingham Trent University, working with the Industrial Crafts Research Network https://simonpenny.net/industrial-crafts.html, have two funded PhD opportunities available around capturing tacit skills within industrial heritage.

The Industrial Crafts Research Network (ICRN) is an international, interdisciplinary research network of academics, museum professionals, designers, and practitioners dedicated to the study of and communication of skill and knowledge within Industrial Crafts.

These two research opportunities, which have a focus on the textile industry and draw on expertise from Nottingham Trent University, may be of interest to some of those running or involved in conserving and presenting industrial heritage sites in the Midlands and North of England.  Follow the links below for more details on how to apply:
