Virtual Graduate Open Events
The Consortium for Researching Inclusive Cultures in the Arts (CRICA).
The CRICA MPhil/PhD programme has been created by the Department of Sociology, LSE and the University of Roehampton together with non-academic partners from the performing arts. It is funded by Arts and Humanities Research Council Doctoral Focal Award scheme. Students will receive a full scholarship of tuition fees and stipend and receive a bespoke training programme.
The programme explores how inclusive cultural practices and spaces are created and experienced, and how these can inform broader societal and economic changes. The primary research theme of CRICA is the intersection of disability and the creative economy, specifically the performing and participatory arts sectors.
We aim to train a new generation of scholars, performance artists and change makers. The research undertaken will have a focus on opportunities for widening participation in the arts, including employment, performance and ensuring fair access to all audiences.
We recommend making contact with potential supervisors to discuss your research project. We particularly welcome applications from those with disabilities and disabled scholars and artists who are currently under-represented within PhD programmes.
You can find further information on the programme at both the LSE and the University of Roehampton webpages.
Please reach out if you have any questions about the programme at either sociology.phd@lse.ac.uk or pgresearch@roehampton.ac.uk.
