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.
