PhD in Sociology

This PhD project understands migrant-led creative craft enterprises in the UK as resilient, post-growth microeconomies. It will investigate how these practices generate cultural continuity, ethical local revival, and alternative futures in deprived areas, centring migrant agency and third-sector contribution within interdisciplinary debates on resilience, postgrowth futures, and migrant creativity. The project is ideal for candidates passionate about social justice and transformative futures. You will be part of Economy, Society, Governance research group at the School of Geography and Environmental Sciences, and the interdisciplinary centre Work Futures with access to interdisciplinary training and international networks.
