[Commlist] Mobile People: PhD Studentships

*Mobile People: Studentships*

*Deadline for applications is 31 January 2019.*

Queen Mary University of London Leverhulme Trust Doctoral Scholarships 
(QMUL-LTDS) programme

**

Co-directed by Professors Engin Isin and Kimberley Hutchings QMUL-LTDS 
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.


The QMUL-LTDS programme is organised according to thematic priorities 
which reflect established expertise at QMUL. These themes (boundaries, 
generations, environment, health, identities, language) will be studied 
in relation to the impacts of mobility as a way of life on social and 
political institutions (citizenship, democracy, nationality, and 
security). The organisation of the programme is guided by the principle 
that institutions such as citizenship (membership, rights, obligations), 
democracy (representation, participation, government), nationality 
(sovereignty, state, territory), and security (authority, legality, 
threat/protection) are undergoing profound transformations. These 
transformations are shaped by and reshape the articulation of spatial 
relations (boundaries), temporal relations (generations), meanings of 
place from world to home (environment), definitions and experiences of 
well/ill-being (health), dispositions and behaviours (identities), and 
communication and speech (language).

To apply visit the ‘How to apply’ page and also consult the 
'Studentships' page for specific requirements for the QMUL-LTDS scheme, 
https://www.qmul.ac.uk/politics/research/degrees/howtoapply/index.html

As QMUL-LTDS is an interdisciplinary programme, you are encouraged to 
identify two potential supervisors from two different schools 
(disciplines) including the Schools of Politics and International 
Relations (IR), Business and Management, Economics and Finance, 
Languages, Linguistics and Film, Geography, Psychology (SBCS), History, 
and Law.

Applicants are encouraged to contact their potential supervisors in 
advance of making a formal application. However, a formal acceptance by 
the supervisor is not a requirement for making an application via the 
online system.

A list of potential supervisors participating in the programme is 
available as follows:
