Professor Simon Caney will be giving our Annual Lecture on Friday June 15th. He will talk about Poverty, Inequality and Justice: Development in a Climate Constrained World. This lecture will commence after the Postgraduate Conference in Room OC 1.06, Oculus Building, Warwick University from 5PM. We hope to see you there!

Thank you to all speakers and attendees of our first postgraduate conference. This thought provoking and in-depth consideration of contemporary gender and development issues brought together postgraduate students from Warwick University, SOAS, Bath University, Leeds University, Manchester University and Edinburgh University. It sparked an important debate and the issues arising will continue to be discussed. Click here to see the conference photos!

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.
