Funded AHRC/ESRC PhDs in Spatial, Environmental and Cultural Politics at the University of Brighton The Centre for Spatial, Environmental and Cultural Politics (SECP) https://www.brighton.ac.uk/research-and-enterprise/cores/centre-for-spatial-environmental-and-cultural-politics.aspx is currently inviting applications for fully-funded doctoral studentships to join our PhD programme at the University of Brighton through the AHRC-funded TECHNE consortia (UK applicants only) and ESRC SCDTP (UK applicants only). These studentships are student led proposals, however there are also a number of pre-approved PhD projects that you can also apply for https://www.brighton.ac.uk/research-and-enterprise/postgraduate-research-degrees/funding-opportunities-and-studentships/dtp-esrc.aspx The Centre for Spatial, Environmental and Cultural Politics (SECP) undertakes interdisciplinary research to address global and planetary challenges such as climate change, human migration, social inequalities and resource access/depletion. We explore the environmental, spatial and cultural dimensions of ecological and social challenges in specific places, to offer new knowledge and practice for the creation of more sustainable and socially just societies. Although not restricted to, we particularly welcome proposals that address the following issues/themes: Environmental and climate change – media, communication and popular culture; activism, justice and resistance; public engagement; feminist and decolonial political ecology; climate histories; smart technologies and everyday life; big data; anthropocene and human-animal relations; visual and arts engagement; gender, race and migration; media and NGO communication of climate migration; cultural politics of food; immersive media and affective engagement; eco-therapy; creative approaches. Politics of space and place – geographies of sport and leisure; popular culture, heritage and cultural regeneration; feminist political activism and protest; geographies of sexualities and gender; social and cultural geography of the seaside; race and community; everyday performance of public urban space; embodied and practiced politics of race, gender and sexuality; communing; urban common land; land rights and gender; critiques of neoliberalism; image politics and protest, mental health and wellbeing. Potential applicants are advised to identify a potential supervisor to work with in formulating their application, and to ensure that the ‘fit’ between the proposed project and the research context and environment at the University of Brighton is clearly articulated. Enquiries for both schemes can be made to the Director of SECP, Professor Julie Doyle ([log in to unmask]), who can also help you identify a potential supervisor. AHRC applications: The AHRC is for Arts and Humanities research. The deadline for applications for study at the University of Brighton for October 2018 entry is Monday 8th January 2018, 12pm but it is important to make contact with a potential supervisor as soon as possible.
