rising_star Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Email copied below. Sounds like a great opportunity! ---- The funding (minimum: $20k per year) is not attached to any particular research project, so it allows for a wide range of interests on the part of students. The key is that the student must have a research interest that meshes broadly with my own research in: critical geographies, cultural studies, feminist geographies, cultural geographies, critical race geographies (particularly the study of white supremacy as a constituent part of everyday life in Canada and beyond). There is also a strong likelihood of extra funding through internal UBC Scholarships (approx. $5k). The successful candidate would become Assistant Editor for ACME: An International E-Journal for Critical Geographies during the period of their studies. Interested students should contact me by email, and send me a half-page summary of their research interests, a copy of their current CV, an unofficial copy of their grades for their MA studies, and a writing sample (a published manuscript, a chapter of their MA thesis, etc.). This funding opportunity just came about, so my apologies for the lateness of this announcement. Our graduate program has a January 31, 2015 deadline for applicants wishing to start studies in September.
