Six PhD Bursaries
The Research Institute for Cosmopolitan Cultures (RICC), part of the
Faculty of Humanities at the University of Manchester, invites
applications from highly qualified postgraduate students for six
three-year PhD bursaries of £ 3,370 p.a. (towards fees and/or
maintenance) to enable them to research and write doctoral dissertations
on any aspect of one of the following broadly defined themes:
* Living Cosmopolitanism: Cities, Transnationalities and Migration
* Injustice, Inequality and Violence: Rethinking Materialities
* Mediating Cosmopolitanism: Film, Technology and Fantasy
* Imagining Otherness, Embodying Difference: Gender and Postcolonialism
* Genealogies of Cosmopolitanism: History, Literature and Memory
* Belonging and Exclusion: Exile, Diaspora and Cultures of Citizenship
We expect to award six bursaries in total. Successful candidates will be
based in RICC and one of the participating Schools: School of Social
Sciences (SOSS); School of Arts Histories and Cultures (SAHC); and
School of Languages, Linguistics and Cultures (SLLC). It is a condition
of the award that recipients of the RICC PhD Bursaries be (co)supervised
by one of the three full-time RICC Chairs:
Nina Glick Schiller (Professor of Social Anthropology, SOSS)
Jackie Stacey (Professor of Media and Cultural Studies, SAHC)
Galin Tihanov (Professor of Comparative Literature and Intellectual
History, SLLC).
Other members of RICC’s academic staff, which includes the RICC
RCUK/Leverhulme Fellows and Postdoctoral Associates, can also be
involved in the supervision (for the research interests of the RICC
Chairs and of the other members of academic staff at RICC, please see
website detailed below).
