The studentship is part of the cross-national €1.5m NORFACE research project
WelfSOC. The project uses innovative methods (deliberative democratic forums and a qualitative cross-national focus group survey) alongside analysis of quantitative survey data. It is the first project to use qualitative methods on such a scale in the
comparative study of European social policy. The studentship offers the opportunity:
- To work as part of a team on a major international project.
- To spend time as an academic visitor to the various projects in Denmark, Germany, Norway and Slovenia
- To benefit from supervision by leading international scholars
Possible research topics:
-
What is the impact of immigration on attitudes?
-
How are the attitudes of middle class people changing?
-
Do the public support for social investment welfare states?
-
How can effective policies be developed when many people distrust welfare claimants?
-
How has increased inequality affected welfare attitudes?
The applicant may also propose a different topic in the field of public attitudes towards the welfare state.
