Hi,
We are currently in the process of recruiting two Human Geography GTAs at Leicester. As a human geography team, we have a wide range of research interests, and these posts are advertised with no specific topics in mind. If you are interested in pursuing research on the geographies of sexualities with me, this might be a way of funding it (please note however, I will be away on leave after today until 17th August, so will have limited opportunities to discuss ideas with you before the deadline).
