Social Inclusion PhD Scholarship (MQRES)
Closing Date: 31 March 2008
The Centre for Research on Social Inclusion (CRSI) is offering two scholarships for PhD research projects focused on religion and social inclusion. Candidates may approach the topic through considering the relationship between religion and political philosophy or religion and political movements. Areas could include (but are not limited to) religion and citizenship; the relationship between religious and other kinds of discrimination; religion as a source of resistance to change,
or resistance to the status quo.
The Centre for Research on Social Inclusion is an interdisciplinary group of researchers from disciplines such as Anthropology, Sociology, Philosophy, Cultural Studies, and Human Geography. We also include members from across the university from areas such as demography and finance. The Centre undertakes social, cultural and philosophical research into contemporary social justice issues.
Within the broad rubric of social and cultural inclusion, the Centre has five areas of special research strength:
$B!|(B Migration, Multiculturalism and Nation
$B!|(B Critical Theory and Social Hope
$B!|(B Welfare, Care and Social Policy
$B!|(B The Postcolonial World and Globalisation
$B!|(B Inclusion and Exclusion in Urban and Regional Spaces
This scholarship is available to domestic or international students. Applicants should have equivalent research qualifications to an Australian undergraduate degree with first class honours, such as a Masters degree with a substantial thesis component in a relevant discipline.
The scholarship pays a living allowance, currently $20,007 per annum, tax exempt (2008), and the maximum tenure is 3.5 years full time, subject to satisfactory progress. Tuition fees will be funded for the tenure of the scholarship.
For further information and discussion regarding these projects, applicants are encouraged to contact the supervisor, Associate Professor Marion Maddox, email: crsi@scmp.mq.edu.au or telephone: +61-2-9850 9171.
