The Centre for Research in Spatial, Environmental and Cultural Politics (SECP) is currently inviting applications for fully-funded doctoral studentships to join our PhD programme at the University of Brighton. The SECP centre’s mission is to rethink knowledge and practice in ways that are sustainable and socially just by producing world leading and innovative research at the intersection of space, environment and culture.
We particularly welcome proposals in the following areas:
(a) Spaces, Power and Justice – exploring the role of space and place in affecting power relations. We welcome applications that include theoretical engagements and empirical research in the areas of inequalities, differences, political subjectivities, authority, neoliberal forms of subjectivity, power and governance, and access to social and environmental resources.
(b) Environmental futures, communication and sustainability - addressing the urgent challenges of environmental issues and climate change through communication, media, design and/or practice. We welcome applications from critical, creative and practical perspectives from across media and communication, arts and design, architecture, urban and mobility studies, and human and physical geography, that create innovative and collaborative approaches to addressing local and global environmental challenges.
(c) Embodiment, performance and process –interested in new forms of cultural and political thought, in ontologies of process and emergence, in post-humanist and materialist feminist perspectives. We welcome applications from traditional and more experimental methodologies to explore issues such as the politics of embodiment, affect and emotion, spatial politics, embodied mobility and environmental subjectivities.
We particularly welcome applications that engage with communities, business, policy or the public and civil sectors.
Applications should be made to the Doctoral Centre in the College of Arts and Humanities which offers AHRC (Arts and Humanities Research Council) funded studentships through the TECHNE Consortium, a cross-university Doctoral Training Partnership. The Doctoral Centre is also able to award some University of Brighton funded studentships.
