Hi all, Just want to make you aware that the Department of Social Policy at LSE is currently inviting applications for PhD students, on a fully funded basis, with a September ’24 start. If you have or know of any students interested in conducting research related to climate change and the environment, particularly if connected to issues surrounding distributional politics, inequality, and policy, then please encourage them to get in touch with me (as identification of and fit with potential supervisors is an important part of the application). All the best, Liam Dr. Liam F. Beiser-McGrath Assistant Professor in International Social and Public Policy, London School of Economics and Political Science Organiser, EPG Online<https://www.lse.ac.uk/social-policy/events/Seminars/EPG> https://www.liambeisermcgrath.com<http://www.liambeisermcgrath.com/> https://www.lse.ac.uk/study-at-lse/Graduate/degree-programmes-2024/MPhilPhD-Social-Policy MPhil/PhD Social Policy London School of Economics and Political Science<https://www.lse.ac.uk/> Social policy at LSE is about the development, design, analysis, and evaluation of public policies. We cover a wide range of policy areas including crime, education, migration, population, social disadvantage, inequalities, and social security. The issues underpinning our work are global in application. What determines the needs, rights, and wellbeing of citizens and non-citizens? What is, and what should be, the roles of the state, the family, the market, and civil society? This programme offers the chance to undertake a substantial piece of work that is of publishable quality and which makes an original contribution to the field of social policy. You will begin on the MPhil, and will need to meet certain requirements to be upgraded to PhD status. You will be offered supervision in a wide range of specialist topics and will become a member of a vibrant and exciting research community. You will have access to a full collection of UK, US and EU public documents, parliamentary papers and statistical data as well as use of cutting edge networked computer facilities dedicated to research students, in the Social Science Research Laboratory within the Department. Alongside the PhD programme, students have the opportunity to access broad LSE resources such as the PhD Academy and audit courses across the School. The Department of Social Policy is also associated with research centres such as the International Inequalities Institute (III), Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion (CASE) and the Mannheim Centre for Criminology which students can be involved with.
