[ecrea] Mobile People - Leverhulme Studentships

Mobile People: Studentships - Queen Mary University of London Leverhulme 
Trust Doctoral Scholarships (QMUL-LTDS)

Queen Mary University of London Leverhulme Trust Doctoral Scholarships 
(QMUL-LTDS) programme will involve 21 PhD research projects (2018-2023) 
concerned with how the world is being dynamically constituted by mobile 
people in active and novel ways and how this affects fundamental social 
and political institutions. Its aim is to generate theories, concepts, 
methods, and data that are necessary to understand mobility as a way of 
life – not as an exception but as an emerging norm. Current research 
demonstrates that developments in human mobility are interrelated with 
the ways in which they are studied, interpreted, documented, and 
managed.Thus, thinking about mobility as a way of life entails 
reflexivity about the processes of producing knowledge about mobile 
lives in an increasingly mobile world: how we study, manage, govern, and 
imagine it.

QMUL-LTDS is a research training programme that draws strength from both 
the interdisciplinary approaches of QMUL in social sciences and 
humanities and its extraordinary location in London’s East End as a 
historical hub of peoples, languages, and cultures from around the 
world. QMUL-LTDS projects will address the transformative effects of 
mobile people on the social and political institutions they inhabit and 
construct. How mobile people are creating new worlds, not solely as host 
versus guest, mobile versus immobile relations, but in ways which 
fundamentally challenge social and political institutions of 
citizenship, democracy, nationality and security is the innovative focus 
of this programme.
