The University of Newcastle, Australia, is offering a PhD scholarship to study the social geography of heavy metal.

The problem most metal fans have with education is that…well…it rarely relates to heavy metal. Sure, sometimes schools will teach their students about metal things — like the Civil War, Antonin Artaud, or pretty much everything that any noble ever did in Ancient Rome — but there are very few classes specifically about killer riffs. And yet, a university in Australia is now offering a PhD in the social geography of heavy metal culture — and there’s even a scholarship for it.
