Miriam Gillis-Carlebach Fellowship
The Merriman Essay Prize (named in honour of Dr Marcus Merriman) is awarded for an outstanding undergraduate essay (2,500–3,000 words) on any topic in the fields of international and/or military history from the ancient world to the present day.
Offered by the Department of History in partnership with the Centre for War and Diplomacy at Lancaster University, the prize is open to current undergraduates at any UK or overseas university. The successful candidate is awarded a prize of £250.
Possible themes may include, but are not limited to:
The rhetoric of racial and/or civilizational superiority was unequivocally the basis on which imperialism and colonial rule were legitimised in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Difference between ‘colonisers’ and the ‘colonised’, and the incapability of the latter to rule themselves evidently provided the justification for colonial rule. Such difference was, however, unfixed, thus Ann Laura Stoler posited, in her formative essay, to examine the ‘coloniser’ and the ‘colonised’ as “an historically shifting pair of social categories”.
The imperial and colonial contexts in which modern science and scholarship came of age haunt us to this day. Be it the origin of museum collections, the Eurocentrism of history textbooks and academic curricula, or the lack of minority ethnic university staff—the shadows of an imperial past loom large upon us today.
