Gates Postgraduate Cambridge Scholarships 2020 - Ronja Griep
Ronja Griep, a former PPE Graduate with the Philosophy Department, has been awarded a prestigious Gates Postgraduate Scholarship at the University of Cambridge, commencing in the Autumn of 2020.
The Gates Cambridge Class of 2020 consists of only 77 scholars, originating from 30 different countries, and are some of the most academically outstanding and socially committed postgraduates involved in research today.
Ronja, who has been accepted to undertake a PhD in Philosophy from Emmanuel College, Cambridge, has written about Climate Crisis, Political and Feminist Philosophy, Social Housing and the implications of Hate Speech for Equal Citizenship, among other subjects. Support from the Gates Scholarship programme will allow her to continue her studies into these and other areas of research, and to explore further those political movements that work with and support victims of Hate Speech.
The International Gates Postgraduate Scholarship programme was launched with a $210 million donation from The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2000. Since 2001, over 1,700 scholarships have been awarded to outstanding Postgraduate students from over 100 countries worldwide.
