Description:
Two full-time
postgraduate scholarships are available for suitably qualified candidates with
a good honours or masters degree in history, HPS, or anthropology to undertake
research studies leading to a PhD. The PhD topic should relate to the ARC
Laureate Fellowship project, which focuses on the development and transmission
of concepts of race and human difference in the southern hemisphere during the
20th century, especially on those ideas derived from biological or
anthropological studies. Through comparative and transnational histories we
seek to reveal influential debates over racial difference conducted by
scientists, anthropologists and others across the global South. We are
