International and Environmental Studies in Hong Kong: Postgraduate Studentships Students interested in conducting research in international and environmental studies are encouraged to apply for residential postgraduate ("graduate" in the American lexicon) places in the Social Sciences Program at Lingnan University, Hong Kong.
We normally accept students for MPhil research, but in exceptional cases we can consider accepting students for PhD work. Students accepted into our very small program are normally given free tuition and generous studentships that cover living costs. Funding is often available for students to attend international conferences. Students are normally expected to reside in Hong Kong during term times unless granted research leave. We are particularly interested in students who might benefit from studying in Hong Kong, and I would especially welcome applications from students who want to conduct research in any aspect of global environmental politics, environmental foreign policy, international environmental justice, Chinese environmental foreign policy, the politics of animal rights in China and similar topics. In August 2007 we will be forming a new Department of Political Science, which will split off from the current Department of Politics and Sociology. This will allow us to continue giving students quality supervision in their postgraduate research. For more information on applying, please visit the following website and click on "Social Sciences": http://www.ln.edu.hk/reg/info/pgrad.html All applications should be sent to the Registry. Please share this message with interested students. Many thanks, Paul G.
