Overview
This structured PhD is inspired by the need to conduct rigorous, in-depth research and analysis on the impact and outcomes of contemporary and historical crises. It is driven by a desire to inform and support policy and decision makers (inc. World Health Organisation, Foreign Office), to optimise joint working between partner organisations, and to foster increased understanding and debate within the field of humanitarianism. We will offer a flexible approach to the provision of teaching to cater for the current needs of the aid industry and prepare the next generation of crisis response researchers and practitioners. The programme will seek to engage directly with people affected by situations of ongoing conflicts and crises.
This PhD therefore reflects the need for structured forms of professional development and dynamic knowledge practices that function effectively across multiple academic and non-academic contexts. Action research and reflective practice-inspired pedagogy can respond to and influence the complex, unpredictable and shifting social, political and cultural contexts within which professional practitioners operate. The PhD will introduce students to a range of dynamic and challenging concepts and methods with which to reflect critically and constructively on their current professional experience/context. This pedagogical approach enables students' professional context to become a primary research resource.
We welcome applications from students wishing to study in one of the following areas:
• The history of humanitarian relief from the 19th century onwards
• Turkey, political violence, conflict theory and state formation
• Performance and artistic responses to war and disaster
• The politics of modern peacebuilding
• Post-conflict governance in the third world
• The history of population displacement from the 19th century onwards
• Emergency humanitarian assistance in conflict and catastrophe
The institute will award the Korchinsky PhD Research Studentship for the academic year 2010/11 (Sept 2010 start date). This studentship of £11,250 per annum is designed to cover home fees and also provide a maintenance allowance. Overseas students are eligible for the award but the full amount will be required to cover overseas tuition fees. The studentship will be awarded subject to satisfactory progress for a period of four years.
The award holder will be expected to undertake an element of teaching or administrative work as a condition of her/his award.
Application requirements
Applicants for the Scholarship should hold or be expecting a First Class degree award, and/or a Distinction in a related Masters degree. Applicants who hold a good 2:1 in their first degree will be considered on merit. Applicants should include full details of any teaching experience or areas of expertise on their application form. Applications including a 500 - 1000 words research statement must be returned by 19 April 2010.
