I have been approached by an extremely able student of political economy, who would like to do a PhD. Even though he has no formal links with higher education institutions, he has published several papers in his field, and is highly regarded by his fellows. I have no doubt that he has a brilliant future as a researcher. He needs the PhD to have an academic carreer, but he cannot move abroad for an extended period of time (he must be based in Latin America, because of family commitments), and has no rich sponsor ready to pay several thousand dollars/pounds/whatever to fund his studies. The best course of action seems to be a distance learning programme. However, I have been unable to locate one that would accept him, and be acceptable to him. I would be grateful for any suggestions. Please send them to my personal email address (below).
