[Commlist] Vacancy: PhD position in Cultural Heritage Tourism

Thu Jun 22 18:54:27 GMT 2023




Vacancy: PhD position in Cultural Heritage Tourism.

Open to candidates from heritage studies, tourism studies, media studies, cultural studies

Indigenous community engagement with colonial heritage sites

The Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication (ESHCC) at the Erasmus University Rotterdam is pleased to announce a challenging PhD position that delves into community engagements with colonial heritage sites. Although tourism in relation to contested heritage and colonial heritage has been studied from a wide range of perspectives, less attention has been given to the engagement of indigenous communities to sites explicitly concerned with colonial histories. Additionally, the consequences of involuntary loss from these sites (e.g., due to colonial looting), and the influence of changing narratives surrounding these sites, are often omitted. Taking a multi-actor comparative approach, and by actively involving indigenous communities in the research process, this PhD position will produce novel theoretical and empirical contributions to the study of colonial heritage and tourism. Candidates interested in this PhD position are to propose specific case-studies and/or regions relating to the research questions: How do indigenous communities negotiate, understand, and engage with colonial heritage sites? How have broader discussions of indigenous rights and representation in modern society been impacted by the preservation and interpretation of the material and immaterial properties of colonial sites? And how do colonial heritage sites shape the ongoing interactions between indigenous and non-indigenous communities?

To be eligible, a candidate must have:

-A (research) master degree or equivalent with a relevant specialization within the social sciences or humanities, such as sociology, media studies, anthropology, history, and/or related disciplines;

-Familiarity with and keen interest in qualitative research methods;

-Independent thinking and critical analytical skills;

-Good collaboration skills and an ability to join interdisciplinary and intercultural academic communities;

-Excellent oral and written communication skills in English (CEFR C1);

-Motivation to carry out high level research and publish in renowned peer reviewed international journals.
