I welcome PhD projects that deal with organization and transformation of exchange systems at the local level, particularly money, markets, and new forms of entrepreneurship. It may include topics on market-making, like creating a complementary currency, engineering a new local market, re-coordinating a value chain or a local system of production, forming producers' associations, and so on.

I welcome PhD research projects that deal with gendered labour dimensions in critical fields such as global production networks, international migration, and financial crises. Currently, I am developing research on the social security of agricultural workers in South Asia. Agricultural and domestic work are two occupations that I have a special interest in.

I very much welcome candidates who are interested in exploring the ways in which social struggles contribute to a continuous questioning of the meaning and practice of ‘international development’.

Wendy Harcourt

I welcome PhD candidates in the field of feminist engagements in diverse social justice movements, explorations of the nexus among global, feminism ecology and critical development studies.

Alan Fowler

Having started a DPhil in my forties, I more than welcome the opportunity to engage with people taking such an academic step in later life as well as with young professionals whose interest is one of exploring issues of civic agency, poly-centric governance and of civil society in the context of international aid.

Erhard Berner

I am supervising research in the broad field of urban development, poverty and social protection. In the context of CIRI, I welcome PhD projects concerned with slum dwellers’ struggles for shelter, livelihoods and empowerment, and in particular the poor’s micro-enterprises.
