Overview
About the program
The successful PhD Student will be awarded a scholarship from Deakin University with the supervision team being drawn from Deakin University and Coventry University. The PhD Student will graduate with two testamurs, one from Deakin University and one from Coventry University, each of which recognises that the program was carried out as part of a jointly supervised doctoral program.
The Critical geopolitics and international relations in South Asia program from Deakin University student is anticipated to spend a minimum 6 months and a maximum of 12 months (with approval) of the total period of the program at Coventry University in the second year of the program, with the remainder of the program based at Deakin University.
This PhD is intended to purposively examine areas that are generally under-researched in international relations (IR), and particularly in South Asia. Candidates may propose projects that offer a transversal or intersectional analysis across more than one of these topics that are empirically clearly delineated in and across the geopolitics of two or more South Asian nations:
- Gender and South Asian geopolitics (including but not limited to feminist and queer IR) that consider and problematise how gender and sexuality are narrated in South Asian international relation discourse and praxis in both explicit and implicit ways. How do gendered political assemblages (including but not limited to militarised groups, movements, affiliations) embody justice, boundaries and intersectional tensions with caste, nationhood and religion?
- Environmental politics in South Asia that explore tensions and productive alliances around water politics, shared border ecologies, climate cooperation, poverty and environmental politics, environmental migration, species extinctions, multispecies flourishing, and transboundary conservation, among many others.
Programme Structure
- gender and international relations;
- South Asian environmental politics;
- grassroots/subaltern border politics and informal governance and development in contested and/or shifting South Asian borderlands; politics of soft diplomacy in South Asia;
- and the influence and significance of South Asian diaspora politics to the region.
