Hello
Could you post the announcement below on the mailing list.
Thanks
Emmanuelle
We welcome applications for a fully funded PhD studentship at Glasgow Caledonian University entitled Ageing in sport: Challenging women’s invisibility<http://www.gcu.ac.uk/media/gcalwebv2/research/phdopportunities/gsbs2014/GSBSPhDproposal_Olderwomeninsport_FS_ET_Oct14.docx>
The deadline for applications is 19th December, with interviews to take place early in the new year and the studentship starting soon after.
The project would be designed to chart the history and explore the place of current cohorts of older women in sport, either as practitioners or as spectators, throughout the life course and in the present. The research would provide some context to account for the invisibility of older women in sport and is part of a wider concern with physical activity and prolonged sitting in later life.
The project will be supervised by Dr Fiona Skillen and Dr Emmanuelle Tulle, both members of the Sport and Identities research cluster in the Glasgow School for Business and Society. We are looking for candidates with a background in the social sciences and/or the Humanities, or if from any other discipline with a commitment to approaching issues of gender, sport and physical activity critically.
It is anticipated that the research will be qualitative and training in qualitative methodology and research methods will be available.
