Leadership in transition?: Inter-generational conflicts and social
capital
in ethnic minority communities


An opportunity has arisen for a suitably-qualified person to conduct
research leading to a PhD into questions of leadership in ethnic
minority
communities. The research will seek to address the impact of
changing
patterns of leadership on conflict and cohesion within those
communities,
and on the capacity of minority communities to access public
institutions
and social resources. The fieldwork will be conducted in
Manchester and
Stoke-on-Trent.

The project will be supervised by Dr. Ian Loader (Criminology) and
Profs.
Chris Phillipson and Pnina Werbner (Social Relations), in
collaboration
with the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. The studentship will be
full-time for 3 years from September 2003 and be paid at a starting
stipend of £11,000 p.a., plus research expenses. University fees
will be
met in full.

Informal enquiries are welcome and can be made to Chris Phillipson
