Department
of Sociology
University of Limerick
Two
PhD Fee Waivers,
2011-2014
As part of an
initiative to support new PhD students in the Department of Sociology, University
of Limerick,
we are inviting applicants for two PhD fee waivers. These are aimed at new
applicants seeking to pursue postgraduate work in the specific areas of
expertise in this dynamic and vibrant department. One of the Fee Waivers
is to support PhD research on the specific topic of ‘Gender, Migration
and Catholic Faith-Based Organisations’ and the second Fee Waiver is open
to areas of research in line with departmental expertise. Applicants for
the second Fee Waiver must align their proposed study with the
interests and strengths of the Department of Sociology such as the sociology of
health and illness; the body; the media; education; youth, community and social
regeneration; gender and migration; religion; social mobility; family; the
internet and social media. Further details of faculty research interests are
available on the departmental website.
The recipients of the
Fee Waivers will undertake 15 hours of work per semester for the department.
Fee waivers will be awarded
for one year in the first instance and may be renewable subject to annual
review of progress. Also, in the event of the recipient receiving funding
elsewhere then the Fee Waiver will revert to the department.
The Department of
Sociology at UL has won
numerous awards for teaching excellence and hosts varied and vigorous research
activity on a broad range of themes, representing a number of different
methodological traditions. It is actively involved in a range of research
projects in the Institute for the Study of Knowledge and Society (ISKS)
