Dear all

 

We have a funded PhD opportunity at Manchester, connected to the JUST Centre, that might be of interest to some of your students if they are thinking of a PhD. It’d be to analyse the dynamics in the climate backlash as it plays out in specific places across the North of England, supervised by Sherilyn MacGregor and myself.

 

The link is here: https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/hums-bicentenary-phd-the-local-political-dynamics-of-the-climate-backlash/?p187856. Application deadline 14thNovember.

 

If you do have students who might be interested please do send them our way. And very happy to field questions.

 

Best wishes

 

Mat
