Interdisciplinary MA Program in London
The following notice was recently submitted for the attention of Enfilade readers; there’s also a link to the King’s College program in the sidebar to the right, along with links to other useful eighteenth-century studies programs:

A new MA in 18th-Century Studies, offered under the joint auspices of King’s and the British Museum, is proving very successful, drawing upon the skills of scholars from eight departments in the School of Humanities, alongside those of senior staff at the Museum. The eighteenth century is a vital component of the School of Humanities’ research and teaching.
The new MA consists of a core module, a dissertation and four modules chosen from a wide range of options, including ones taught by the Departments of English Language & Literature, History, Music, American Studies, Philosophy and German. The core module is taught in part by experts from the British Museum, and enables students to engage with the unique, diverse and rich collections of cultural institutions in central London, including the British Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, the Royal Society and the Hunterian Museum.
The core module explores constructions of the Enlightenment, then and now, through frameworks such as race, gender, class, intellectual networks and material culture, and invites students to analyse ideas, objects, texts and arts of the eighteenth century. We particularly welcome applicants who may continue to a PhD, and those looking to deepen their understanding of the eighteenth century through creative interdisciplinarity.
This degree is offered jointly with the British Museum; do visit the museum’s Enlightenment Gallery website.
