The joint PhD programme between Wits and ISS invite applications from prospective candidates on a range of topics in international law, society and development:
• Critical, development-oriented aspects of trade and investment
• Socioeconomic deprivation
• Human rights and humanitarian law
• Gender
• Health and the environment.
Socio-legal approaches that critique the social working of law are preferred to studies that simply examine the content and implementation of legal norms.
