PhD Studentship: Environmental Loss, Ecological Grief and Reparative Action
4 months ago
Overview
This is an opportunity to conduct fully funded interdisciplinary research under the 'Sustainable Transitions – Leverhulme Doctoral Training Programme' at the University of Essex.
Biodiversity indicators have revealed dramatic declines in the relative abundance of wildlife around the world, with particularly large losses in freshwater habitats and amongst larger bodied organisms. This scientific evidence has informed research in the humanities and social sciences on the emotional dimensions of environmental change and environmental loss. This has included a reflection on how human communities have responded to species extinction, loss of biodiversity and landscape degradation. These noticed losses have an emotional toll on people, generating mourning and ecological grief.
The project will firstly explore the process of making visible and recording species loss amongst scientists, conservationists, environmental activitists and the lay public and seek to understand how they experience and handle the emotional aspects of species loss.
The project will then, secondly, explore the reparative action taken by these groups to make good and repair this damage and loss. This might include conservation projects, the work of advocates and practitioners of rewilding and attend to community action around local biodiversity protection, including urban green spaces.
Interdisciplinary focus
The project will draw on environmental history and sociological approaches to conservation, rewilding and the debate about ecological grief and 'mourning in the anthropocene'. It will also connect with debates within the life science about how to understand and record environmental loss, species declines and biodiversity change. The candidate will draw upon techniques for measuring and assessing biodiversity change under the direction of the second supervisor. Using sociological methods the candidate will then explore the motivations for different reactions to biodiversity loss, how they align with recommended conservation actions and philosophies (e.g. targeted species intervention vs rewilding) and test new communication tools to better align reactions to loss and conservation actions on the future.
Training and Support
You will be supported through the Sustainable Transitions training programme which provides initial training in interdisciplinary research methods, training in the secondary discipline within the project area and ongoing training throughout the duration of the programme. All doctoral scholars benefit from the support of Proficio which entitles you to £2,500 that can be used to purchase training courses either within or external to the University. Additionally, all scholars are entitled to an additional £10,000 that can be used for training and research support. Doctoral scholars are encouraged to audit/attend University masters and degree level courses where appropriate. You will also have the support of the Sustainable Transitions management team as well as your own supervisory team. All Sustainable Transitions scholars will become part of the University of Essex 'Centre for Environment and Society' through which ongoing events and networking opportunities are available.
Person specification
This opportunity would suit a graduate student with expertise in sociology, cultural and environmental history, cultural geography and environmental humanities or any environmental sciences background with an interest in how understanding people and their behaviours can help develop critical analysis of conservation policy and practice.
Research Proposal
The project area is broadly defined, leaving scope for the applicant to develop their own specific research proposal as part of the application. The successful candidate will further develop their proposal in close consultation with the supervisory team.
