PhD Studentship: Equalities of Wellbeing in Philosophy and Architecture (EXPIRED)

Deadline for applications: 28 June 2013

We welcome applications for a PhD Studentship, part of the 3-year AHRC project Equalities of Wellbeing in Philosophy and Architecture. The Principal Investigator is Dr. Beth Lord (Philosophy, University of Aberdeen); the Co-Investigator is Dr. Peg Rawes (Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London). The project investigates how Spinoza's philosophy and architectural thought offer a proportional notion of equality that can improve wellbeing.

The PhD candidate will be based at Aberdeen and supervised by Dr. Lord (https://www.abdn.ac.uk/sdhp/people/profiles/s.b.lord) . She or he will conduct original research linking Spinoza's philosophy with another discipline, such as architecture, literature, visual culture, or urban studies. In particular, the research should be focused on concepts of equality as they arise in Spinoza's texts in relation to texts, works, and/or case studies in the chosen other discipline.

We welcome applications from individuals from any relevant disciplinary background who meet the eligibility criteria. For conditions of eligibility see http://www.ahrc.ac.uk/SiteCollectionDocuments/Student-Funding-Guide.pdf
