Hi All,
Below is text from a recent ad for research
studentships. There's lots of scope for geographers.
Can I plug the studentship on offer with the Fashion
Business and Technology Centre (see below)? Don't be
put off by the name - any geography-esque project on,
say, fashion consumption and/or identity would be
welcome.

research portfolio, the University is offering not
