The Centre for Research on Social Inclusion (CRSI) is offering two
scholarships for PhD research projects focused on religion and social
inclusion. Candidates may approach the topic through considering the
relationship between religion and political philosophy or religion and
political movements. Areas could include (but are not limited to)
religion and citizenship; the relationship between religious and other
kinds of discrimination; religion as a source of resistance to change,
or resistance to the status quo.
The Centre for Research on Social Inclusion is an interdisciplinary
group of researchers from disciplines such as Anthropology, Sociology,
Philosophy, Cultural Studies, and Human Geography. We also include
members from across the university from areas such as demography and
finance. The Centre undertakes social, cultural and philosophical
research into contemporary social justice issues.
Within the broad rubric of social and cultural inclusion, the Centre
has five areas of special research strength:
$B!|(B Migration, Multiculturalism and Nation
$B!|(B Critical Theory and Social Hope
$B!|(B Welfare, Care and Social Policy
$B!|(B The Postcolonial World and Globalisation

This scholarship is available to domestic or international students.
Applicants should have equivalent research qualifications to an
Australian undergraduate degree with first class honours, such as a
Masters degree with a substantial thesis component in a relevant
discipline.
The scholarship pays a living allowance, currently $20,007 per annum,
tax exempt (2008), and the maximum tenure is 3.5 years full time,
subject to satisfactory progress. Tuition fees will be funded for the
tenure of the scholarship.
