CAP PhD Studentships

The Changing Ageing Partnership (CAP) has funding for three year interdisciplinary research studies. The five studies will take the form of PhD studentships at Queens University Belfast and will be focused on a range of topics including economic rights, the fear of crime and anti social behaviour and its impact on older people.  Three PhD studentships were awarded in 2006 and others will be awarded in 2007.

The first three PhD students will come from the Schools of Law; Sociology, Social Policy and Social Work, and Politics, International Studies and Philosophy. In keeping with our interdisciplinary perspective, each of the candidates receives joint supervision from the Institute of Governance and their originating discipline. Reflecting the CAP ethos of partnership, the PhD students are based together within the Institute of Governance and are encouraged to work closely with one another, supporting and informing each others research and to be actively involved in the wider CAP network.
