“A Fair Chance for Education: Gendered Pathways to Educational Success in Haryana, India”

Applications are now invited for a fully-funded doctoral studentship to commence in October 2017. The studentship is embedded in a research project on gender and educational success in Haryana, India, which is funded by the Fair Chance Foundation. The studentship is co-funded by Fair Chance Foundation and the University of Warwick’s Collaborative Postgraduate Research Scholarships (WCPRS) scheme. The studentship reflects the university’s commitment to producing the next generation of international leaders in social science research. Fair Chance Foundation, which was founded by a Warwick alumnus, is committed to improving the future livelihoods of disadvantaged children and young adults through education. The Fair Chance Foundation, which funds several projects in India, helps by both directly funding education, and by promoting education as a means to a better life. The principal goals of Fair Chance Foundation are to: research attitudes towards education as a means to end poverty and gender bias; develop interventions which create desire for education as a means to end poverty and gender bias; formally research and publish interventions and outcomes; develop guides and promote the research to help policy makers make informed choices about which interventions are likely to have most impact; provide direct support to children and young adults.

"Some of us call that dialogue between data and evidence by the name of Empirical Theology, and so it has been highly appropriate that the Church of England lectionary should offer us the letter to Philemon which exemplifies it, on the night when we admit The Revd. Professor Leslie Francis, one of its foremost exponents, to a distinguished canonry in Manchester Cathedral. For longer than he or I care to remember, he has encouraged lay and ordained Christians to investigate the contexts of their places of ministry, to apply the best academic resources to that study, and to produce writings that allow those practitioners to be better vicars, schoolteachers, readers and bishops, to contribute to the corpus of knowledge, and to disseminate their findings for the practical benefit of church and society." David Walker, Bishop of Manchester
