and the Social Sciences.
We are inviting prospective doctoral students who are interested in applying for studentships either through the AHRC Techne Scheme or ESRC South Coast programme, with a focus on innovative and interdisciplinary Gender and Sexualities research.
The Centre for Transforming Sexuality and Gender brings together researchers from across the university who are working on themes related to sexuality, gender and social change with a core focus on producing research with community partners that impacts
on policy and practice.
The centre incorporates the following key research themes:
• LGBTQ Lives Research
• Sex, Sexuality and Health
• Digital Sexualities
• Precarious Genders
We are committed to cutting edge research and community engagement. Many of our researchers have a shared commitment to feminist, post-structuralist and queer theoretical approaches and use a variety of methodologies that are participatory, visual and
creative.
PhD students will have access to the Cluster’s own methodological space, The Creative Methods Lab, brand new and beautifully designed facilities where researchers meet to develop and conduct research, using state-of the-art visual and audio recording equipment.
Applicants need to meet AHRC / ESRC eligibility criteria for funding.
