The role
The School of Humanities invites applications for a Senior Research Associate. The successful applicant will be a core member of the Leverhulme Trust-funded research project, ‘Welfare Citizenship and Intersectional Feminism’. The project will foreground intersectional feminist responses to welfare disparities that impact Black and South Asian communities (1940-2000). The project draws together relevant public and private archives, oral history testimony, and transcontinental research material. Together, the research team (PI, 2 Senior Research Associates and a doctoral student) will cover case studies in Britain, Africa (SRA1) and South Asia (SRA2). In doing so, the project offers important new insights into how both the welfare state and intersectional feminist activism have approached structural welfare inequalities and ultimately shaped modern conceptions of citizenship.
The role is full-time and available on an open-ended with fixed funding basis for 45 months, with a start date of December 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.

You should apply if
