For 2023 entry, LSE is offering a three doctoral studentships for PhD study in any Department for research addressing ‘Analysing and Challenging Inequalities’ (ACI).
Topics may cover any aspect of economic, social, cultural and/or political inequality, in any part of the world, at any time, addressing whether, why and how such inequalities are intensifying. Students may propose to use quantitative, qualitative, archival, or mixed methods.
Students should apply to specific Departments and, if successful, will become affiliated to LSE’s International Inequalities Institute (III). Here they will be part of a dynamic research culture exploring the links between the economic dimensions of inequalities with their social, cultural, and political aspects to systematically assess whether and how inequalities might be hardening in mutually reinforcing ways. They will join four cohorts of students previously funded by the Leverhulme Trust developing research on this theme, as well as other LSE funded scholars in their department.
Successful ACI studentship holders will be expected to join the prestigious III Doctoral Programme, which brings together PhD students working on any areas of inequalities from across the school, regardless of disciplinary affiliation. As well as being supervised by experts in their home Departments, students will also be actively mentored by a group of leading III scholars who all have outstanding records of research on escalating inequalities.
Topics may cover any aspect of economic, social, cultural and political inequality, in any part of the world, addressing whether, why and how such inequalities are intensifying. Students may propose to use quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods.
