PhD in Anthropology

As a PhD Candidate at Radboud University you will investigate how women in peripheral communities in Latin America transform their urban environments to become more liveable, sustainable, safe and democratic. The position is part of the NWO-funded project ‘Women building cities: Overcoming violence and transforming the city with communities of care’ (WECARE) led by Dr Sonja Marzi. You will be based at Radboud University (Faculty of Social Sciences, Department of Anthropology and Development Studies) and conduct several months of in-depth fieldwork in low-income neighbourhoods in Lima, Peru, and potentially another Latin American city. The research uses a qualitative participatory and co-production research approach and includes audio-visual participatory methods. The PI is Dr Sonja Marzi and supervisors include Dr Sonja Marzi, Dr Tine Davids and Dr Edwin de Jong.
