The ESRC Centre for Care is pleased to offer a PhD studentship based in the Department of Sociological Studies. The Centre is led by investigators in five universities, three major charities and the Office for National Statistics, and works in close partnership with a large network of partners and leading international research teams.
We believe that a diverse and supportive environment, bringing varied perspectives to our work and allowing people to blossom, is the best platform for excellent research. We actively encourage applications from those who share these values, and we especially welcome applications from disabled people and individuals with Black, Asian and Minoritised Ethnic and Refugee backgrounds.
The PhD will be situated within the Care Trajectories & Constraints Research Group. It will be embedded within a research study exploring how changes to the UK’s migration regime since Brexit are impacting the social care workforce, including its super-diversification in terms of migration categories and statuses, and the implications of this for workers and employers. The PhD will have a particular focus on understanding how the recent decision to limit migrant care workers’ rights to bring family members is impacting the lived experience of migrant care workers and their families, and in situating that decision and people’s experiences of it within wider discussion of the (post)colonial logic of the post-Brexit migration regime. Methods will include policy analysis and qualitative interviews.
The successful student will be supervised by Professor Majella Kilkey and
Professor Sundari Anitha.
Interested candidates should contact Professor Majella Kilkey (M.Kilkey@sheffield.ac.uk).
This studentship is available on a 1+3 (which includes an integrated Masters year) or +3 basis, either full time or part-time.
