PhD Scholarship "Confinement and Violence in India"
2011-04-04
The Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies (ToRS), the Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen and the Rehabilitation and Research Centre for Torture Victims (RCT) are seeking a highly qualified candidate for a jointly funded PhD project on forms, modes, experiences and economies of confinement with a particular orientation towards prisons and/or urban neighbourhoods. While torture, violence and abuse of human rights in prisons and urban neighbourhoods has been the subject of scholarly explorations, the functional similarities between urban slums and places of detention have received scant attention. The project should broadly speak to themes of confinement, violence and reform in the Indian context. The more specific focus of the project will be developed by the successful candidate in collaboration with ToRS and RCT.
