Doctoral and Masters Scholarships
The NRF/British Academy Research Chair in Political Theory would like to invite applications for the following scholarships:
· 3 NRF PhD Scholarships
· 3 NRF Masters Scholarships
These will be available for any student researching a topic in political theory (broadly construed) in South Africa, who would like to work under the supervision of Professor Lawrence Hamilton.
This Research Chair in Political Theory is undertaking and directing research under the following five main broad themes:-
· Freedom, Power, Resistance and Representation in the global South
· The State in Southern Africa: Colonization, Apartheid, Decolonization
· Human Needs, Human Rights and Political Judgement
· The Economics, Ethics and Political Theory of Amartya Sen
· Comparative Political Theory
However, candidates should not feel constrained by these research areas. The Chair can supervise research on a broad range of topics within political theory, including the history of political thought and political theory from and for the global South, particularly Africa, focused on generating new ways of conceiving of the main problems of political theory.
The Chair aims to inaugurate a faculty and student exchange programme between the University of the Witwatersrand and the University of Cambridge. Thus, there may also be the possibility of spending up to 3 months at the Department of Politics and International Studies, Cambridge.
Please send your CV, full academic transcript and short research proposal – 1 page – to Professor Lawrence Hamilton, at [email protected] or The Department of Political Studies, University of the Witwatersrand, Private Bag 3, Wits 2050, Johannesburg, South Africa.
