Summary

This degree provides an opportunity to conduct advanced research on East Asia in an interdisciplinary school. You will study with internationally renowned Sociology, Politics and International Relations scholars in a dynamic and supportive research environment. Our research activity is focused on South and East Asian societies, culture and politics, including issues relating to security, conflict, peace and violence; ethnicity, migration and citizenship; gender and sexuality; race, colonialism, postcolonialism, and decolonialism; the climate crisis; political economy; political and social inequalities; social, political and international theory; and socio-technical systems and their politics, among others.

Our staff also have particular expertise across a range of cultural, political and social theory and champion diverse research methodologies. You will be assigned two PhD supervisors whose current research interests and expertise are relevant to your chosen research area.

We are committed to rigorous conceptual and empirical research that is politically and socially relevant and problem-orientated. We aim to advance theory, knowledge and methods at the cutting edge of political and sociological research. We produce leading research with an international focus that is relevant to the changing circumstances of an increasingly interconnected world. Our aim is not just to monitor the world but to contribute to a better understanding and to ways that might improve it.

Most students will start in September 2024 or January 2025, however other dates can be considered. Please contact the postgraduate student administrator to discuss the options available.
