 PhD studentship: University of Hull

In recent years, a lot of emphasis has been placed on exploring how students can themselves contribute to their own learning and development of school practices.  However, less emphasis has been given on how disabled students can make such contributions in school settings.
This doctoral scholarship is aimed at applicants who wish to explore some aspects of the contributions of disabled students in schools in Hull. This is an area that deserves further exploration not only locally but also nationally. It is expected that through this research a direct impact on disabled students that will participate will be made, alongside methodological contributions on how to engage with students’ voices who are defined as having some sort of disability.

The lead supervisor, Dr Kiki Messiou, has carried out research in the UK and abroad, and has a strong record of publications around students’ voices in school contexts. She is currently working collaboratively with a number of schools in the city of Hull and through her involvement in an international network of researchers working on similar themes. Dr Max Hope will be the second supervisor. Dr Hope is in the process of publishing research about students’ experiences in small alternative schools. She has a keen interest in democracy, participation and student voice, and in particular, about how the leadership and management of organisations can enhance these processes.
Applications from both home/EU and international students are welcomed.
Full-time UK/EU PhD Scholarships will include fees at the ‘home/EU’ student rate and maintenance (£13,590 in 2012/13) for three years, depending on satisfactory progress.
Full-time International Fee PhD Studentships will include full fees at the International student rate for three years, dependant on satisfactory progress.
PhD students at the University of Hull follow modules for research and transferable skills development and gain a Masters level Certificate, or Diploma, in Research Training, in addition to their research degree.
Successful applicants will be informed of the award by 8^th May 2012.
Closing date: Friday 2^nd March. Studentships will start in September 2012
Primary supervisor: Dr Kiki Messiou, K.Messiou@hull.ac.uk
