"Global Crises: Covid and Climate Change Refugees" Margaret Wooloff PhD Scholarshship, Department of International Politics, Aberystwyth University Applicants are invited to apply for the Margaret Wooloff PhD Scholarship (3 year UK tuition and maintenance) starting September 2022. Project on Global Crises: Covid and Climate Change Refugees supervised by Dr Catrin Wyn Edwards and Dr Gillian McFadyen, Department of International Politics, Aberystwyth University. Deadline for applications is 4th July 2022, 12noon. Project Description: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the significant repercussions of global healthcare (in)equalities, vaccine nationalism and inequity, and ineffective health systems on the world’s forced displaced. More specifically, the global pandemic has increased the vulnerability and mobility of those residing in regions especially impacted by the adverse effects of climate change (UNHCR, 2020:1) where those in need of humanitarian protection are estimated to exceed 200 million by 2050. Thus, together, the COVID-19 and climate emergencies have exposed structural inequities, systemic marginalizations and new injustices and vulnerabilities across scales and sites. Yet, the COVID-19 crises has also offered unprecedented insights into how states can tackle the climate crisis given the similarities between the COVID-19 crisis and the imminent global climate emergency. This PhD project will analyse the intersection of global health and climate crises, structural inequalities and the rights and mobility of the climate refugee. The project proposes the adoption of a feminist framework to highlight the ‘co-production of injustices structurally, materially, and discursively’ (Sultana, 2020) that are present in both crises through the figure of the climate refugee. The project will offer an innovative and forward-thinking approach to global crises, bridging the knowledge divide between climate, health and refugee politics.
