Two PhD Positions in Social Sciences for International Students

Your position

The planned research will focus on the emergence of gendered approaches to ‘counter and prevent violent extremism’ as enacted across different sectors including state and military institutions, civil society organizations, and multilateral development agencies, as well as the impact such strategies have on the communities in which they are implemented. PhD projects will ideally combine feminist ethnographic and discursive methods, and engage with critical security studies and feminist theory. The PhD is interdisciplinary and the students will be based in the Center for Gender Studies, with opportunities to work with the Departments of Political Science, Cultural Anthropology, and African Studies.
