Dear all,

The Centre on Labour, Sustainability and Global Production (CLaSP) at Queen Mary University of London invites applications for doctoral programmes in the School of Business and Management starting in September 2024. In exceptional cases, a January 2025 start may also be possible.  

PhD supervisors at CLaSP have interdisciplinary research expertise in a wide range of areas including Business, Development Studies, International Political Economy, Critical Management Studies, Economic Geography and Political Ecology, and regional expertise in the Global South (particularly Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and the Middle East), Europe and the UK.  

We offer funded PhD scholarships for home and international students through the ESRC’s LISS DTP, as well as several QMUL studentships. The Centre offers a collegial environment for PhD research and supports its existing cohort of PhD students towards academic and other professional development needs.  

We particularly welcome students wishing to pursue research on the following (or related) themes:  

    Labour regimes, nature and global production/global value chains 
    Divisions of labour, value capture, globalisation and management 
    Political economy of ‘sustainable development’, extractivism, socio-ecological transitions in the Global South 
    The sea, maritime industries, geopolitical economy/ecology 
    Urban infrastructures, water politics 
    Business politics and multinational corporations  
    Global ecologies of work in ‘green frontier’ decarbonising industries 
    Hidden forms of work, unpaid labour and environmental stewardship 
    Platform economy and digital work/labour 
    Social reproduction and gender 
    Subaltern studies of race  
    The transition to capitalism, environmental history and racialisation 
    Local and global labour histories of East London 
    The military, security and development 
    Workplace conflict, class composition, political organisation, and capitalist restructuring in post-war Europe 
    Forms of pacification: democracy, depoliticization, and marketisation in late capitalism 
    Financialization, particularly of labour, health, development and/or the green transition 
    Philanthropy, philanthrocapitalism and sustainable finance 
    Creative industries and cultural labour 
    Social movements, activism and intersectionality  
    Participatory research methods, action and art  
    Computational methods in research on business & society 

It is recommended that you contact a potential CLaSP supervisor directly, and relatively soon as the deadlines for college funding are in late January. For more information on applying, see here: https://www.qmul.ac.uk/busman/research/research-centres/clgp/
