ESRC White Rose Network Funded PhD Studentships
Research Network: Reshaping Multiculturalism through Cultural Practices
Applications are invited for three fully funded doctoral studentships,
within an ESRC-funded research network involving Sheffield, Leeds and
York Universities (which comprise the White Rose Doctoral Training
Centre). The network, entitled Reshaping Multiculturalism through
Cultural Practices, will investigate the ways in which
multiculturalism – as a set of ideas and ideals, practices and
policies – is being reshaped by those who are most affected by it:
cultural minorities. The projects will investigate cultural practices
through which ethnic, linguistic and religious minority groups are
working through problems and challenges associated with
multiculturalism. The projects are defined openly at this stage, to
allow students the opportunity to shape their own projects, while
working within a coherent network with shared interests and a
collective focus on multiculturalism.
Each of the three studentships will be based at one of the three
universities within this network but will actively engage with the
other universities within this Doctoral Training Centre network, which
includes Sheffield, Leeds and York Universities.
Project 1: Multiculturalism, Gender and Sexuality. This project is
based at Sheffield University in the Department of Geography. The
supervisory team will include Richard Phillips (Sheffield, Geography)
and Yasmin Hussain (Leeds, Sociology and Social Policy) and Baroness
Haleh Afshar (York, Politics). For more information, please contact
Professor Richard Phillips ([log in to unmask]) and, for help
with the application process (for a place in the Geography PhD
programme), contact the Postgraduate Administrator
([log in to unmask]).
Project 2: Multiculturalism, Culture and Controversy. This project is
based at York University in the Departments of Politics, where the
successful applicant will be registered, and English. The supervisory
team will include Claire Chambers (York, English), Matthew Festenstein
(York, Politics) and Richard Phillips (Sheffield, Geography). For more
information, please contact Dr Claire Chambers
([log in to unmask]) and, for help with the application
process (for a place in the Politics PhD programme),, contact the
Postgraduate Admissions Team ([log in to unmask]).
Project 3: Rethinking Multiculturalism from Below: Encounters in
Everyday Spaces. This project is based at Leeds. The supervisory team
will include Paul Bagguley (Leeds, Sociology and Social Policy) and
Patricia Noxolo (Sheffield, Geography). For more information, please
contact Dr Paul Bagguley ([log in to unmask]) and, for help with
the application process (for a place in the Sociology and Social
Policy PhD programme), contact the Postgraduate Administrator (

Application Procedure: These +3 studentships offer full funding for
three years; candidates must have a Bachelors Degree in a relevant
discipline and must have completed a Masters Degree with research
training before beginning this doctoral programme (in October 2013).
The deadline for application for these scholarships schemes is 15
March 2013. Candidates must fully complete application for admission
to the institution at which they would be based, including upload of
both references, specifying this Network and Supervisor on the
application, and also emailing the lead supervisor to state that you
wish to be considered within this scheme. Candidates may apply for
more than one of the three projects specified here by applying to more
